Glitter on the Mistletoe: A Queer Christmas Collection

By B Alan Bourgeois

Christmas is not always quiet. Sometimes it shows up wearing glitter, carrying a cocktail, dancing under a disco ball tree, and asking who invited the ex.

Glitter on the Mistletoe: A Queer Christmas Collection is a funny, sexy, heartfelt, and proudly LGBTQIA+ collection of holiday stories about the people who turn December into something worth surviving — and celebrating.

Inside these pages are queer bars glowing past last call, Santas who know your real name, lovers dancing too close beneath silver lights, exes getting re-gifted, family dinners where boundaries finally arrive with dessert, and chosen families raising midnight toasts to everyone who made it through another year.

These are not perfect Christmas stories. They are better than that.

They are messy, romantic, spiritual, raunchy, tender, defiant, hilarious, and full of queer holiday magic.

For readers who love LGBTQIA+ fiction, chosen-family stories, holiday romance, queer humor, found-family warmth, and Christmas tales with glitter on their boots and heart under the tree.

Review

📘📘📘📘 4 Books — Strongly Recommended: An engaging, cohesive collection with strong ensemble appeal, generous attention to older queer lives, and effective blends of comedy and tenderness. Repeated dialogue patterns and explanatory conclusions limit its subtlety, but its intended audience has much to enjoy.
