How Christmas, Colorado Began
Debbie Mason, a Canadian author with a knack for crafting lighthearted yet emotional tales, launched the Christmas, Colorado series in 2013 with The Trouble with Christmas. Inspired by her love for small-town settings and the magic of the holiday season, Mason created a fictional Colorado town that feels as real as your own neighborhood. Her goal was to weave stories of love and second chances that resonate with readers year-round, blending humor and heart in equal measure. The series’ first book even inspired Hallmark’s Welcome to Christmas, cementing its place in holiday romance culture.
The Heart of Christmas, Colorado
The series, spanning nine books, follows different couples navigating love and life in the charming town of Christmas. The Trouble with Christmas introduces Madison Lane, a big-city developer clashing with Sheriff Gage McBride as she tries to save the town’s holiday spirit—and finds romance instead. In Christmas in July, Grace Flaherty fights to rekindle her marriage with her amnesiac husband, Jack, in a poignant tale of second chances. It Happened at Christmas pairs free-spirited Skylar Davis with straight-laced mayor Ethan O’Connor, proving opposites attract. Later, One Night in Christmas, a novella, delivers a quick dose of small-town romance with boutique owner Sophia Dane.
Mason’s stories shine through their themes of love, trust, and community. The snowy, festive setting of Christmas, Colorado, with its bustling bakeries and meddling townsfolk, acts as a character itself, fostering connections and healing old wounds. Her clever dialogue and juicy plots, praised by RT Book Reviews, balance humor with emotional depth, making each book a cozy yet compelling read.
