CHRISTMAS. The very word breathes magic into the air and fills you with warmth and joy.

Christmas at the farmhouse has all the wonder of a classic Christmas, plus extra doses of coziness and charm.

Melissa Bahen's third book in the Farmhouse series, Farmhouse Christmas offers holiday meal planning and entertaining straight from the kitchen in her farmhouse to your table. While cookie plate favorites and scrumptious desserts are included, the cookbook also offers a host of breakfast options and holiday dinners along with party foods and beverages for the season.
