A Christmas Feast
(2026)(The fifth book in the Winterberry Hollow Christmas series)
A novel by Cindy Nichols
They built the perfect restaurant. Winterberry didn't want it.
Two months after opening their dream, chefs Derek Crawford and Meredith Hayes face empty tables and an uncomfortable truth: they created a restaurant for their careers - not their community.
The solution isn't elevated cuisine or Instagram-worthy plates. It's Leo's mother's meatloaf. Mrs. Jackson's snickerdoodles. Sophie's mac and cheese. The dishes that carry memories, connect generations, and turn food into belonging.
With a critic coming and Christmas approaching, Derek and Meredith take a leap of faith. They invite Winterberry into the kitchen.
What follows changes more than a menu. It changes Emma, who is afraid to trust herself with motherhood. Maggie, who has been carrying a ring she isn't sure she is ready to wear. And a small town about to remember that the best things in life are made together.
A Christmas Feast is the heartwarming finale to the Winterberry Hollow series - a celebration of community, courage, and coming home.
Genre: General Fiction
