How the Critic Stole Christmas

(2026)
A Story by

 
 
Andie Pine has one winter to prove she can run The Grand Alpine while her parents try out a year-long retirement. One winter to prove her family's resort legacy won’t fall apart in her hands.

Except it is. Literally.

The historic lobby sleigh collapses, the resort's giant Christmas star won’t light up, and praying mantises are hatching by the hundreds from the decorative garland above the front desk.

Then Morgan Sharpe checks in: travel critic and professional dream-crusher. She observes each disaster with sharp, assessing eyes, pen in hand, and Andie knows the kind of article this could become.

So Andie makes a new plan: she'll prove to Sharpe that Winterbrook's magic is real, The Grand Alpine is special, and that everything falling apart is merely festive chaos. She'll save the inn, impress Morgan, and absolutely not develop feelings for the gorgeous critic with the power to ruin everything.

How the Critic Stole Christmas is a sapphic holiday rom-com about disasters, determination, and the courage it takes to believe in holiday magic again.
