Monster romances push that even further, and holiday settings often amplify the contrast: winter cold, holiday cheer, family tensions, cozy nights by firelight—mixed with cryptids under the tree, shifters under the mistletoe, or Krampus in the snow. It’s a fertile ground for both naughty and nice. Spotlight: A Very Cryptid Christmas A Very Cryptid Christmas (2022) is an anthology of nine short romance tales featuring cryptids and mythic creatures in holiday settings. The stories are steamy, sexy, playful, and so much fun—each story features a different creature. Want to seduce a Sasquatch? Wrangle a Jackalope rancher? Cozy up with the Squonk? It’s all in there! It also has been positively received: readers tend to love the variety, the inclusivity, and the inventiveness. Some standouts noted in reviews are Horney for the Holidays by Lulu M.
