A Heartwarming Christmas Fantasy That Reimagines Holiday Classics with Hope and Magic

Book Blurb

Abby Nicholson used to love Christmas. Until she didn’t.

After leaving Winter Glen—the small town famous for its Christmas celebrations and her family’s greeting card company—Abby is forced to return home when her father unexpectedly passes away, leaving the business in her hands.

Determined to move on from a town and holiday tied too closely to grief, Abby decides to sell the company. But when she signs the paperwork using her father’s old pen, something impossible happens.

Christmas disappears.

Her hometown transforms into a bleak, joyless place where hope is gone and the people she loves are unrecognizable. With no idea how to fix what’s broken, Abby discovers that when she draws with her father’s pen, her art comes to life. Armed with creativity and courage, she sets out to restore Christmas—while shadowy forces work tirelessly to stop her.

A Cozy Holiday Fantasy with a Fresh Twist

Write Christmas by Thommy Hutson is a contemporary holiday fantasy that lovingly blends the emotional beats of A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life into something modern, comforting, and deeply heartfelt. This is the kind of story that feels like a Hallmark Christmas movie—but with just enough fantasy to make the magic feel real.

At its core, this is a story about grief, second chances, and rediscovering joy. Abby’s journey is emotional without being heavy-handed, balancing “big sad” moments with warmth, humor, and genuine holiday charm.

What Makes It Stand Out?

The alternate-reality twist is what gives this story its spark. Watching a Christmas-obsessed town stripped of all seasonal joy is both unsettling and compelling, especially as Abby realizes how deeply her presence—and her choices—affect the people around her.

The magical pen is a clever device that ties creativity directly to hope and change, reinforcing the story’s central theme: the power to create joy often lies within us, even when we’re too hurt to see it.
