Make Christmas Great Again
by Chrissy Hartmann
When Santa Claus glides into Wooster, Ohio, ready to kick off the holiday season, his rally is packed with good cheer, big promises, and a healthy dose of jingle-bell optimism. But just as the crowd starts to believe in his mission to “Make Christmas Great Again,” an unexpected act of malice — and no, it’s not a rogue reindeer — threatens to ruin everything.
Whispers of an old rivalry bubble up, and the crowd is left in a state of shock, wondering if they’ve accidentally stumbled into a holiday horror show. Santa’s resolve is tested like never before, but before his elves can organize a full-scale rescue operation, he blasts a triumphant “Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas, everyone!”—a last-ditch call to keep the Christmas spirit alive and remind everyone that nothing can take down Big Red’s holiday cheer.
Meanwhile, whispers of one of Santa’s old nemesis’ , spread through the stunned crowd. Who’s behind this Grinch-worthy scheme? And can Wooster’s residents rally to save their holiday spirit before it’s too late?
From Chrissy Hartmann, an award-winning short story author with a knack for blending humor and heart, Make Christmas Great Again is a hilarious, heartwarming tale that proves even Santa’s toughest days come with a dash of holiday magic—and a lot of elf panic.
Available in paperback and digital.
