Half-baked Holidays:
A Romantic Comedy Holiday Collection

 

Special Personal Introduction:

Why write a romantic comedy holiday collection, you wonder?

Well, first of all, if you asked me what my favorite holiday is, the answer would be easy.

And complicated.

Because with absolute certainty, I most adore Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

Why the duality?

Both vibrate with the magic of romance. In equal measure.

Exquisite and addictive. Exciting and heartwarming. Brimming with wonder and hope.

And if we’re lucky, that incredible magic enchants us, entwines itself around us, and never lets us go.

The most wonderful time of the year definitely spun its powerful magic on us: Stone and I were married the day after Christmas.

We sent out elegant iridescent red-white-and-green poinsettia wedding invitations.

Had a small ceremony (Stone refused to shake the hand of someone he didn’t know).

Annnd… the hip-hop beats of Run-DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis” streamed on a tiny black boombox.

At the wedding.

Not kidding.

So with off-kilter humor deeply entrenched in our own holiday romance, it’s easy to see why we believe romantic comedy deserves VIP seating at the holiday romance event.

And of course, there’s no shortage of tasty ingredients…

All the delectable seasonal trappings: nostalgic songs, festive food and drink, sparkling decorations, ribbon-tied wrappings, and bright fluffy snow.

But dig a little deeper, and we also find all kinds of scrumptious emotion. Tender hope. Grumbly defiance. Aching love.

Whip into the recipe a pinch of humor and a dash of attitude?

And we all get to have… Half-baked Holidays.

Delicious chaos as romance and yuletide collide.

Five brand-new multicultural romantic comedies, written specifically for this collection:

Family chaos erupts as former high school crushes toss mischief into their first Christmas in… So NOT a Silent Night

A sweet volunteer bedecks herself in Christmas trimmings to lure a dreamy firefighter in… Enticing Wrapper Number 9

A Wharton MBAer ditches her trying family for a spontaneous Hawaiian yoga instructor in… Give Me a Christmas Break

Two daring college students engage in breaking and entering—a personal baking contest—in… Half-baked Holiday

When besties con their way into the ultimate party, a law student finds herself caught in… Billionaire Bash New Year’s Crash

Read on to adventure into the romantic merriment for yourself.

With great pleasure, I introduce you to… Half-baked Holidays.

I hope you enjoy the heartwarming romances.

Romantic and Comedy Thanksgivings…

Today we shared a Facebook post that included a romantic taste of a Thanksgiving scene from THREE CHRISTMASES.

Best Thanksgiving ever quote pic

Besides reading holiday romance, we love to watch favorite movies and TV shows that are holiday themed.

Here are a few favorite Thanksgiving-themed movies and TV shows, some quotes and remembered moments:

Miracle on 34th Street for the Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Susan: “There’s nothing else to see except guys cleaning up horse poop.”

The Blind Side – Love their Thanksgiving meal. And everything. Great movie.

Grumpy Old Men … So awesome.
Kat: Love Ann-Margret in that movie.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles 
Stone: Great comedy. I remember their car-rental scene. Freakin’ hilarious. {laughs}

Scent of a Woman – Al Pacino!

You’ve Got Mail and that “Cash Only” line.

Cashier: “Happy Thanksgiving back.”
Stone: The cashier’s demeanor totally changes the instant he leaves. {chuckles}

Big Bang TheoryWe love more than one episode but…
“The Thanksgiving Decoupling”

Raj: “My, my, the plot like my gravy thickens…”

and a favorite second quote (and really there are a ton)…

Sheldon: “At some point while you were there was Las Vegas also on its side?”

Friends – So many beloved episodes…but…
“The One With All The Thanksgivings”
Stone: That’s right. Chandler’s Flock of Seagulls hairstyle!
Kat: And Monica’s turkey head! {dies laughing}

Gilmore Girls
“A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving”

Luke Danes: Shouldn’t we give thanks first?

Jess Mariano: Thanks for what?

Luke Danes: Well, that we’re not Native Americans who got their land stolen in exchange for smallpox infested blankets.

Lorelai: Amen.

There are so many more. Let us know if we need to add any of your Thanksgiving-themed favorites to the list!

May you all have a warm and blessed Thanksgiving and upcoming holidays.
