The Holly and the Ivy by Sarah Eden, Esther Hatch, Dana LeCheminant, and Anneka Walker

 Here are four Christian historical romance novellas all with a Christmas theme.  In each a single young lady meets a man and starts to fall in love with him.  Conflicts arise because of status or propriety, the conflicts are resolved and they kiss and get married.  They are really Victorian/regency versions of a Hallmark Christmas special.  My favorite was probably the first one by Sarah Eden,  It is a prequel to her Lancaster Family series and shows the early childhood of the "Deadly Duke" of Lancaster from Seeking Persephone.  I also enjoyed the others, but I must admit, by the end I was ready to move onto another genre.  There is no reason, however, that you would have to read all four stories.  They are not at all connected to each other.  If you are in the mood for some clean, fun, romantic, historical Christmas cheer, this is a good choice. It will also introduce you to some pretty reliable clean historical romance writers. (2022, 400 p.)
