Bookroo's summary

In a whirlwind of holiday chaos, five friends from a mother-daughter book club face unexpected challenges. Megan and Becca's cruise turns competitive over a charming captain's son, while Cassidy's family trip to California stirs homesickness. Emma and Jess's sledding accident derails their plans. As blizzards and squabbles threaten their festive cheer, will they rediscover the magic of the season before New Year's Eve?

From the publisher

This Christmas season, join the girls of the mother-daughter book club for a variety of holiday-themed adventures! Becca, Megan, Emma, Cassidy and Jess have plenty of reading material to bring on their trips, too, because the book club is tackling the Betsy-Tacy series before their next meeting on New Year’s Eve. But unfortunately, nothing goes quite as planned for any of the girls. On a Christmas cruise with their families, Megan and Becca fight over the dashing son of the ship’s captain. Cassidy and her family fly back to California to visit Cassidy’s sister Courtney… but when the West Coast causes homesickness for their former life in Laguna Beach, the family begins to question what state they should call home. And a disastrous sledding accident causes both Emma and Jess to completely change their holiday plans. Between squabbles, injuries, and blizzards, everything seems to be going wrong. Will the girls be able to find their holiday spirit in time for Christmas?
