“My recommendation is A Booze & Vinyl Christmas. This book is a collection of merry music-and-drink pairings that will take your holiday entertaining to a whole new level! I think something so many of us can agree on is shared love of holiday music. For me nothing kicks the season off like some Johnny Mathis Christmas tunes, or the soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Christmas, or Sia’s Everyday Is Christmas. Nothing warms the heart like entertaining family or friends over the holidays, and you can’t go wrong with this book as your season companion. It offers delicious cocktail pairings that connect to the music and will delight your guests. This year I think I’ll even get my four-year-old in on the fun by pairing an alcohol-free hot cocoa with the music of his favorite Christmas crooner, Nat King Cole!”

“Although it’s not quite the season for it, my favorite Running Press product to gift this year has to be the Ghostbusters: Light-up Slimer. In addition to managing the production of it, I was also involved with the component design and special effects.
“It has a dual display feature where it can be mounted on a wall or displayed standing with the included metal base, and it’s our first product that has a motion-activation feature! I’m hoping fans will appreciate this unique collectible!”
Staff Pick: Maria Riillo, Associate Editor

What Does the Constitution Actually Say?
“Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the pages of this book are delightful
And since we’ve got no place to go
Get to know, get to know, get to know
The Constitution, dummy!”

“We all have a Swiftie in our lives, and mine is my mom! My mom introduced me to Taylor Swift during the Red era. She said to me, “Oh, she’s just so sweet and she makes amazing music”, and that was enough for me. I actually got to see Taylor with my mom during the 1989 tour, right here in Philadelphia. I’m so excited to gift Long Live to my fellow fans and family!”

Roasty-Toasty Reading Books for Kids
Detailed Title List
Staff Pick: Becca Matheson, Marketing and Publicity Manager
“I know there are picture books out there that celebrate moms, but most of them focus on being a mom as a role to others, and I think this picture book is unique in that it celebrates a mom for her personhood. For how she approaches the world, and art, and community.
“While every tattooed mom I know will absolutely be getting this as a gift from me, so will all the non-tattooed moms, so that when they read this story to their kids at night, they can take home the universal message that they are beautiful, and thoughtful, and connected people who teach their kids by being (and embracing!) who they are.”

Merry Melodies & Movies
Detailed Title List
Staff Pick, Betsy Hulsebosch, Associate Publisher
“I’m a classic movie fanatic—fan doesn’t even cover it—and I love to share the great explorations and behind-the-scenes reveals in our Turner Classic Movies titles. This one, From the Moment They Met It Was Murder, takes us into the world of the genre-defining film “Double Indemnity” which is as entertaining to watch today as it was 80 years ago when it premiered. Surrounded by friends and family who are equally passionate about the movies, I can’t wait to wrap this up for holiday gift giving.”
