Deadline: 31 January 2025
Our holiday book for 2024, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tales of Christmas, has been completed so we are collecting stories for our 2025 holiday book. This topic is so popular that we do a new book every year. This title will be released in time for the holidays in 2025. The deadline for submissions is JANUARY 31, 2025.
Everyone loves the holidays and making cherished memories. And these titles do make wonderful gifts for everyone on your list. How do you celebrate the holidays? Are your celebrations very traditional or are they very spontaneous and never the same?
We want to hear how you celebrate your holidays. How do you gather with family and friends to share the special spirit of the season? How do you brighten those long winter days?
Please submit your true stories about the entire December holiday season, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, and New Year's festivities too. **If your stories are about celebrating Christmas please be sure that they are "Santa safe" so that we don't spoil the magic for precocious readers!
***Please note: If you submitted a story or poem for a previous holiday book and we DID NOT publish it, here is your chance to submit it to us again. If you submitted a story and we DID publish it in a previous book, please do not submit it. We will not publish it again.
