Sparks are flying in Winter Wonderland this Christmas in this LGBTQ+ young adult rom-com from Jason June, New York Times bestselling author of Out of the Blue, Jay's Gay Agenda, and Riley Weaver Needs a Date to the Gaybutante Ball!

All Aaron wants for Christmas is for his brother, Casey, to get over his ex, Raquel. He'd prefer not to be at Winter Wonderland, the island north of Alaska that's home to a year-round Christmas theme park. But Casey loves Christmas, so here they are. Unfortunately for Aaron, Casey's determined to do anything to win Raquel back.

All Kris wants for Christmas is for his uncle to move back to Winter Wonderland to be the first gay Santa. To make that happen Kris needs to win the Race, his grade's annual competition to see who can get a guest to fall in love with them first. Winning means a trip to New York, where Kris would be able to plead his uncle's case to the founder of Winter Wonderland himself.

After some slippery ice sends Aaron and Kris literally flopping into each other, Kris agrees to help Aaron with his plan to keep Casey single. But in all their scheming, both can't stop thinking about kissing the other, and it's not just because of the mistletoe around every corner. Too bad true love isn't on either of their Christmas lists. . . .

This adorable rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Jason June unwraps the healing power of love and the magic of the Christmas season.

      Winter heats up quickly when two gay teens find themselves falling in love. Aaron Merry is a SoCal native whose mom's sudden abandonment of the family left him cynical about love. When his Christmas-obsessed older brother, Casey, suffers a brutal breakup with his longtime girlfriend, Aaron agrees to accompany him on a last-minute, 12-day trip to Winter Wonderland, an island off Alaska with a year-round Christmas theme. Meanwhile, Kris Bright has lived in Winter Wonderland his entire life. His beloved uncle left the island when the theme park refused to feature an openly gay Santa. Now Kris is determined to win the Race, his friend group's annual competition: Whoever can make a tourist profess their love first gets to accompany Anjelica, daughter of Wonderland's founder, on her annual trip to the family's Manhattan penthouse. If he can just speak to Anjelica's dad in person, Kris is sure he can persuade him to bring Uncle Toby back. When Aaron's and Kris' paths literally collide, sparks fly. As they team up to sabotage Casey's plans to win back his ex, they start falling hard for each other. But can a relationship that began as a game survive? June's characters, both major and minor, have distinct voices and backstories, and they're easy to root for. The hijinks throughout add hilarity to the central love story, and the beautifully depicted setting immerses readers in Christmas cheer. Main characters present white. Steamier than a cup of hot cocoa--and just as sweet. (map)(Romance. 14-18)
