The Moonglow series has become a Christmas tradition for me. It amazes me, as I finish each book every year, that this series started from a cozy mystery. It is neither mystery nor romance though there is a lot of love, of all kinds, included in the books. These books are Christmas stories. With main character, Mist, (my favorite), and returning characters who are like family, each year brings new characters and a fresh story. It is possible to read these as stand-alone books. I however urge you to begin with the first and read them in order. Without having major hangovers, the main character, as well as the supporting cast, have ongoing storylines. The true spirit of Christmas can be found between the pages. As always there are a number of cookie recipes, (and even a Christmas Cookbook of them available -recommend the print copy so it can be handed down.), to be found at the end of the book. Treat yourself, a friend or loved one to a gift of The Moonglow Christmas Series. Each of these books are truly a Christmas present.
*I realize this is more a review on the series. That is because they are short, easy to read books and I want you to enjoy the gift inside the covers of the books. This book is a feel good story of the celebration of Christmas. I highly recommend it, especially this year when we could all use an escape.*

YULETIDE AT MOONGLOW, the sixth installment in the charming Moonglow Christmas series by Deborah Garner, is a feast for the senses! From the very first book, I anticipate starting out each holiday season with a new heartwarming novella from this series, which captures the spirit of the season. At the center of the story is Mist, who has almost a mystical feel about her without crossing into the paranormal. Her calmness, along with projecting all things good about the people and situations around her, brings a much needed peaceful sentiment this year. As I settled into a comfy and cozy chair to read about Mist and the Moonglow Café where she works at the Timberton Hotel in Montana, I was swept into the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of Christmas. Using the hotel as a backdrop, guests gather to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas together. Over the course of the six books, it’s been a joy getting to know recurring guests, such as Michael, Mist’s beau, along with new guests who show up with the need to connect to humanity and find comfort. Mist has a prescient feel for what each guest needs along with creating a meaningful miniature painting to memorialize the holiday for each of the guests. I’ll admit, I always look forward to the unveiling, so to speak, of what Mist has created… it’s inspiring and celebrates the best of what the holiday season has to offer!
While Mist creates both works of art on the canvas and in the kitchen, the owner of the hotel, Betty, hosts an annual cookie exchange party for the townspeople. Oh my goodness, so many delectable goodies mentioned in the story! I love how Ms. Garner gathers recipes from her readers and weaves the treats into the story along with providing numerous drool-worthy recipes at the back of the book.
I was provided an advance copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I adore Thanksgiving for the food, family, and lack of pressure to purchase gifts for the holiday. It also means one thing -- it's time to start my holiday reads! One of my traditions has become to grab the next book in the Moonglow Christmas Series, a warm cup of hot chocolate, and my coziest blanket.
Mist is such a breath of fresh, positive air to the world around us. I'd love to have a friend like her in my life! Instantly, we're transported into a world where Christmas feels like it's the very air we breathe. I could smell the delicious meals, cookies, and see each and every character. I love Mist's ability to read deeply into a person -- even before she meets them. It makes me envious that a small town has such charisma, love, and care within it. I wish the one I lived in was the same!
The festival, cookies, and calming personalities draw you in, making you want to be a guest at the hotel. Mist is a woman full of surprises despite her calm nature. I highly recommend starting the series from the beginning. You'll feel like you're visiting the best family and friends!

This is such a feel good series. The folks at the Timberton hotel are the nicest people in a town filled with friendly and wonderful people! Yes, I have read every single one of these and it never fails to leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling---not to mention my mouth watering with all the cookie and candy recipes at the end.
Mist has out done herself this year. Many more people want to attend the Christmas dinner she prepares so she had to make two sittings! A lot of work but Mist doesn't mind and she does have some help. I don't think Mist ever gets rattled-she is somehow able to take everything in stride and still paint miniature paintings for each and every guest at the Inn.
Of course all the guests from prior years show up--once you spend the holiday at Timberton hotel--there is no where else you want to go! This can be read as a stand alone but I think if you need a really good uplift to your spirits--you should read them all!!

Having read a few of the Moonglow Cafe books, I am a bit familiar with Mist and her beautiful cafe. Mist loves to cook, she loves to bring new ideas to her small cafe. This year they are celebrating the Yuletide Festival, a first time affair for the small town of Timberton, and Mist's cafe in the Timberton Hotel is hosting two separate dinners - but for Mist that is just not good enough because they cannot accommodate everyone. Complete with a snowman building competition, a cookie exchange put on by Betty and a huge tent with tons of activity and food - Yuletide at Moonglow is destined to be a hit!
Mist is like an empath - she is able to feel people out before she meets them and judge what they want or need. So she is always looking for new ways to improve the experiences of her guests. And that exact personality is the reason that she is not happy that she cannot have more people. She is such an awesome character and you can feel her love for cooking and Christmas on every single page of the books. Most of all, she is a very serene and calm character, just like her name suggests.
And of course a few of those mouth-watering recipes thrown in the mix, every time she is making something the author creates a magical scene that you can really SENSE in every way. That is what makes these books so special and amazing reads for Christmas time :) This year there are a few new faces at the Hotel - including a gallery owner Valerie and a single mom and her small daughter Serena, who brings even more sweetness to the book. I won't spoil the wonderful array of foods that Mist ends up making or the amazing cookies that come out of Betty's cookie exchange, but I promise you won't regret reading this one! It will get you into the Christmas spirit and make you fall in love with Timberton, Mist and the whole crew! And don't miss the cookie recipes at the end of the book - oh my goodness!!!

I have read all six of the Moonglow Christmas Series and have to say I am again left waiting until next year to meet up with some "old friends" that have read all about. I sort of feel like those who come to Timberton for Christmas. I want to come back for a return trip.
First off, you need to love Mist. She runs the cafe and is an artist with paints along with food. She draws everyone together.
Then there are the characters who come back each year to celebrate Christmas in Timberton. I want to be one of them. I want to have a special place I go for the holiday that is near and dear to my heart. I have this place but it is local (the churches I work at).
I really think everyone should read the entire series but Yuletide at Moonglow is hands down my favorite of the series. Pick up a copy and find out why.
I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Yuletide at Moonglow is book six in The Moonglow Christmas Series by Deborah Garner.
We are back at Moonglow and Christmas is quickly approaching. Preparation for this year’s festivities
are underway. This series is a wonderful way to beginning the holiday season. It has become like
Christmas with old friends. These stories center around Mist, is the owner of the Moonglow Café in the Timberton Hotel in Timberton, Montana. Mist is like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter’s night.
She seems to be able to zero in on exactly what everyone she encounters needs. She is calm in the chaos. She makes the Moonglow the magic that it is. And oh what magic!
Over the course of six books we have come to know the regulars who come for Christmas in Timberton.
And as with every year there are new guests that are looking for connections and comfort at Christmas.
This year something special is taking place. Timberton is hosting its first annual Yuletide Festival.
What a magical way to explore more of the sights and sounds of the town.
I always look forward to seeing who the new guests will be each year.
They each have a story. A need that Mist just seems to connect with. She knows how to make them feel
completely at home while they are far from home. And she spreads the joy of Christmas with all who need it.
I love the interactions among the hotel guests and
towns people. There is just a connection there that you don’t find anywhere else.
As always, we have Betty, who owns the hotel. And she hosts the annual cookie exchange.
What an amazingly fun way to share recipes for the holiday season. A complete list of the cookie recipes can be found at the end of the book. And everything sounds absolutely delicious.
There is magic in the pages of these books, a magic that tells you that the holidays can begin now.
That among the chaos of the season there is calm. That you can find exactly what you need in the pages
of this holiday book.

‘Yuletide At Moonglow’ is the sixth book in Moonglow Christmas read series by Deborah Garner, and it made for a good lighthearted Christmas tale.
The book is about the Timberton Hotel, and the preparations and buildup to the annual Christmas festivities. If you are familiar with the series, you will be keen to learn of the annual snowman competition, the Santa Claus out in the commons, and learn more of the owner Mist.
Mist owns the hotel by day and paints cute pictures for all her guests in the side. She basks in the traditions, ensuring that this year two sittings within the hotels Moonglow cafe go without a hitch. I love Mist’s caring nature, and each guest to the hotel comes with their own story to tell, personalities and add their own bit of excitement into the event.
The cute moments between Mist and her boyfriend Michael are touching and I loved how everyone made time for Selena the little girl turns Christmas Elf.
If you are looking for a book to add a bit of sprinkle to your life and get you into the festive mood, then Yuletide at Christmas is the book for you.
A great read with some cute festive recipes for readers to enjoy. I would recommend to all fiction lovers, and those wanting to snuggle up with a book.

I’m so thankful for another Moonglow this holiday season. This series has easily become a part of my Christmas tradition! I’m always excited to catch up with the characters and “reunite” with the Christmas crew. Once you start reading the Moonglow books, you truly feel like you personally know the characters and are a part of the Timberton Hotel crew! This book can be read as a stand alone, BUT I promise you will want to check out the whole series and make this a part of your holiday season moving forward.
If you are looking for a festive mental escape from all that is going on in the world, this is the book for you. Mist is the owner of the Moonglow cafe’ and will no doubt bring some peace and calm into your reading world. There are new guests that come in, and each play their part in the story. You can’t help but to feel connected to them all, and Mist seems to be the comforter for them all!!
I can’t wait for you to read this festive book and be a part of the first annual Yuletide Festival. This book will give you all of the Christmas feels!!! Enjoy and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

This is another fabulous holiday story by Deborah Garner! The Timberton Hotel puts on a magical Christmas every year, with a wonderful combination of new and returning guests. This year the town has joined in the festivities, with a huge festival that brings holidaygoers from near and far.
Mist has put together a magical meal, experience, and gifts for all of her guests. This year her guests have their own surprises in store for her, including the youngest guest, who brings the wonder of Christmas through the eyes of a child.
This book is a wonderful addition to the series (although it can totally be read as a standalone!) The only negative is that I wish it was longer, so the holiday joy would continue!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
This is such an entertaining Christmas tale. The characters are delightful, and it is the perfect book to curl up with on a cold winter's night. Readers will find nothing offensive. In fact, the only complaint might be that the book is too short!
The last portion of the book is peppered with some yummy Christmas recipes. In fact, I'm not sure which part of the book is better--the story or the recipes! If you are looking for a book to instantly put you in the Christmas spirit, this book is it!

It is just my personal tradition to read Deborah Garner's Moonglow Christmas series, they are books that will move you to tears and laughter (along with wonderful recipes...).
This is the sixth installment of this wonderful series and we will find Misty and her friends at the Timberton Hotel busy with the Yuletide festival and preparing for the Christmas Eve feast.
As always, the book is emotional, kind and really sweet (in more ways than food is allowed). All our characters (and friends) of the previous books are present and they are always a treat to read.
Deborah Garner has a special way with these characters and her writing is so tender and very connected to the Christmas season.
I just loved it!

Yuletide at Moonglow is a great way to get in the holiday mood this year. 2020 has been a rough year all around. I look forward to traveling to Moonglow every year, but this year it was a much-needed escape. It's like getting to see good friends and meeting new ones when I pick up one of these books. Mist is a wonderful central charcter, always so poised no matter what comes her way. If you're looking for a way to get into the holiday spirit, then grab this, a cup of hot cocoa, and settle in for a heart-warming story. Then go grab the rest of the books in the series and enjoy some extra holiday cheer.

The Moonglow series is always so heartwarming. I love the feelings it brings to me every time. There’s no way anyone could be a Grinch after reading about the Timberton hotel and its magical inhabitants. Each year there are return guests as well as new ones, and in the end, they all leave as friends and family. I would love to be a part of it all.
If you haven’t read this series, you are missing out. It will get you in the Christmas mood faster than anything else. Oh, and did I mention that it has cookie recipes? Yum, yum!

I always look forward to a book in the Moonglow series. The author always weaves such a magical picture. This book was no exception. We visit with regular guests and new at the Timberton Hotel I have the same feeling I do when I read a book in this series I wish I could visit. I love Christmas so much that visiting this town during the holiday festivities just sounds so magical. I also enjoy the progression of Michael and Mist's romance. That warms the heart. Trust me you do not want to miss out on this one. It was a fast read, but one you can't put down. It's the perfect book to get into the holiday spirit! Plus a variety of recipes at the end.

Predictable
This is book 6. Plot oh so predictable and Mist can do no wrong. A few new characters for the hotel but much the same. Also came face to face with an overload of food prepared in the wink of an eye. Will not read book 7 if there is one.

Christmas magic
Another magical Christmas in Timberton with Mist and the gang. This year added a local Yuletide festival to the usual holiday goings on. Would have liked more time with Mist and Michael.

It is now officially the festive season for me! It has become a tradition to read the latest Moonglow novella from Deborah Garner over the last few years and I can't wait for the year to roll around to December so I can sit back and relax and join the wonderful residents and regular hotel patrons who we have come to love and enjoy meeting year after year.
This year the residents of Timberton, Montana are hosting their first Yuletide festival and with new arrivals to the hotel, Mist has her work cut out for her this year as she hosting her legendary Christmas Eve dinner not once but twice! In true Mist style she takes it all her stride and her 'what happens happens' attitude is one endearing feat.
To get yourself come festive cheer and leave the horrors of this year behind then you will love Yuletide at Moonglow

This is kind of a repeat of my review of an earlier book in the series but sadly, my opinion is pretty much the same. I still think Mist, while being portrayed as deep and sensitive, is stiff and wooden. And while all the other characters are wonderful and the storylines are sweet, Mist never evolves as a character. And she's supposed to be the main character! Who wants a talking clothes pin for a main character. This makes me sad because there are so many reasons I want to love these stories. Oh well.

Someday….
Someday I may face a Christmas on my own and I’d love to believe I could be welcomed somewhere as warm and wonderful (and delicious!) as Timberton. But I was a little surprised by the assertion that guests from New Mexico would have no experience with snow - much of the state sits above 5,000 feet and receives snow every year, including the area where they were from! I hope the author will find time to visit there in winter sometime - perhaps she will find inspiration for a new novel and can correct the oversight. I look forward to reading it!

The last (current) book in this series as the author comes out with one every year. I know I will enjoy coming back to Timberton Hotel in the coming years. I enjoy the descriptions of holiday decor and food... there’s always a little something special in each book whether it be making a huge gingerbread house or a Christmas festival. I also enjoyed seeing characters develop and relationships grow. It’s fun to see certain people come back to enjoy the hotel and new ones come as well.

Wonderful Christmas Spirit
After the challenges this year has given I looked forward very much to spending some quiet time and not cider with Mist, Betty and the good people at the Moonglow Hotel. Once again Ms. Garner has given rich characters in a wonderful reading that has lifted my spirits and made me feel like a part of the festivities in Timberton. I look forward to Ms. Garner's next book in any of her series as she really brings her stories and people to life.

Mist, the owner and chef of the Moonglow Cafe is gearing up for her traditional Christmas Eve dinner for hotel guests and towns folk. The hotel is booked solid as people arrive not just for the dinner but for the Yuletide festival. I love the characters in this book, especially Mist. She has that magical knack of knowing what each person needs at that particular time. This is a story of friendship, hope and peace. I'm hooked on this series and happily recommend it!

These stories are so sweet but after 6 books they're beginning to blur together. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to binge read this series but I didn't discover it until this holiday season. Anyway, this was delightful as the others in the series and like all of the other books it contains the recipes from the annual Christmas Cookie Exchange and the recipe for the Glazed Cinnamon Walnuts that make an appearance in all of the books.

I feel like I just took a virtual Christmas trip to a small town in Montana. There was no adventure, no mystery. Just a gathering at a little hotel to meet new people and attend a community festival with cocoa, snowman building, caroling, and a magical elf! And the Moonglow Cafe was decorated charmingly for the delicious Christmas Eve buffet.
This novella is #6 in a series but my first Christmas visit to the hotel, which was introduced in another of the author’s books.

Loved it
Another great story from Moonglow
A great cast of characters and I love how there are repeat characters in each Christmas book and now new characters
Reading the Moonglow Christmas series makes me want to find a town just like it and be one of the repeat customers every year...
Highly recommend this series

I loved being back at the Timberton Hotel with Mist, Betty and Clive. This series has become a tradition for me to read each year to begin the Christmas holiday. Mist is such a positive and talented/creative person that I know that I would enjoy spending time with her. Alive with Christmas spirit, family, friendship and a touch of romance I was delighted to read this book this afternoon.
