#21 That Holiday Feeling
This is the fourth holiday season that our short story contest has been around! And it's become something of a tradition for the Christmas-themed prompts to very loosely relate to a favorite holiday movie. This year, we're challenging you to either write from the perspective of a movie's secondary character, or to simply reimagine the general premise in a whole new light.
Can't get enough holiday stories? Check out some of our reading guides:
- 50 Christmas Stories for the Holiday Season
- 40 Timeless and Heartwarming Christmas Books for Kids
- The 40 Most Festive Christmas Books to Get You in the Holiday Spirit
- The Best Books of 2019: 50 Reads That Stole Our Hearts
Or maybe you're still searching for the perfect gift for a book lover, and don't want to add to their "to be read" pile? We've got a list for that too 🎄
