The Most Read Books of December

It is hard to believe that it is 2025! The previous year flew by and the holiday season has come to an end! And we now know the most read books of December! Keep reading to find out what they were!

Take down your Christmas tree and store it away until the next holiday season. And also put away those Christmas books while you are at it. December was filled with many readers picking up Christmas themed books and that is reflected on this list of the most read books of December!

I had a ton of books to get through my reading list and wasn’t able to read Christmas themed books but many other people did. But that also didn’t stop people from reading some of the most popular books of 2024 such as Fourth Wing and The Women. You can see the full list below!

The most read book in December was How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn. Readers couldn’t get enough of this novel or Cruel Winter with You by Ali Hazelwood. Freida McFadden came in third with The Boyfriend.
