2026 Christmas in July Reader Extravaganza!

Welcome to the Third Annual Christmas in July
Reader Extravaganza!

This year, more than 70 Christian authors of fiction and nonfiction Christmas books have joined with me to bring you some holiday cheer in July.

It’s easy to join. Simply sign up to receive an email each day in July featuring these Christian authors and their Christmas books. There’s nothing else you need to do to enter the contest! Each evening, we will draw the names for the winners for that day’s featured authors, so be sure to check your email during the contest. Winners will have 48 hours to respond to the email in order to claim their prize. On July 31, we will also draw the names for our 12 grand prize winners, including one grand prize winner from our international readers. Grand prize winners will have 48 hours to respond to the email to claim their prizes.
