Hi all! I’m hoping you’re not like me and STILL have your Christmas decorations up, but I DO hope you are ready for the second annual July Reader Extravaganza put on by Sarah Hamaker. Let me know in the comments if you’ll be participating and feel free to share this post and let others know about this great summer “Christmas” fun.
This year, more than 70 Christian authors (including me!) of fiction and nonfiction Christmas books have joined with Sarah to bring you some holiday cheer in July.
It’s a simple concept–sign up and receive daily emails each day in July featuring Christian authors and their Christmas books. There’s nothing else you need to do to enter the contest!
SIGN UP HERE
Each day during the celebration, readers will get an email promoting that day’s Christmas books by Christian authors. Each evening, we will draw the names for the winners of that day’s featured authors. (Winners will be notified via the email they signed up with.) On July 31, we will also draw the names for our 12 grand prize winners, including one grand prize winner from our international readers.
The 2025 Christmas in July Reader Extravaganza will hand out more than $2,000 worth of grand prizes to 12 overall prize winners, plus 74 daily winners.
