Christmas Staycation is a spicy holiday romantic comedy by Meghan Quinn. It serves as the third standalone instalment in her festive, small-town How My Neighbour Stole Christmas series (also known as the Kringletown series). Heavily inspired by the chaotic energy of the classic film National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the book delivers Quinn’s signature blend of high-energy banter, laugh-out-loud comedy, and intense romance.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like fake fiancés, family pressure, and accidentally falling for your ex’s brother.

Nolan never met a spotlight he didn’t like. As a major league baseball player with a filthy mouth, an ego the size of the North Pole, and zero interest in behaving, he’s perfectly happy breezing into Christmas in Kringletown like the charming disaster everyone expects him to be.

Taran, on the other hand, has made an art form out of keeping the peace. She’s polished, careful, and so committed to making everyone else happy that she’s somehow agreed to a fake wedding with her ex just to keep her family’s holiday from imploding.

There’s only one problem: the ex in question is Nolan’s brother, and Nolan sees right through her. He knows Taran deserves better than pretending her way through life.
And he’d really like ‘better’ to be him.

Now Taran is juggling family expectations, holiday chaos, and a man who is far too cocky, far too funny, and far too determined to bulldoze every wall she’s ever built.

But with Christmas closing in, secrets snowballing, and one very fake engagement threatening to blow up in spectacular fashion, this holiday season is about to get messy. And someone’s sure to end up on the naughty list.
