*The limited deluxe edition comes with printed edges*
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a brand new holiday rom-com with all the humor and heat her fans adore.
Nothing says I love you like trespassing, public humiliation, and a town-wide Christmas spectacle to win your crush back.
Atlas "Max" Maxheimer did not sign up for this. One minute, he's anxiously trying to keep his family's Christmas tree farm from imploding. The next? He's passed out in the snow after getting clocked by a suspiciously strong bottle of soda.
Enter Betty: new in town, full of holiday cheer, and helping her uncle open a rival tree farm next door. Max is convinced she's out to destroy everything Evergreen Farm stands for. Betty thinks Max might be one sleigh short of a winter parade.
Cue the holiday chaos.
Between blizzards, blown reputations, wildly misguided romantic plots, and one stolen ornament with a seriously tragic backstory, this small-town war turns into something far messier--and much more delicious--than either of them expected.
Tropes:
- Holiday hijinks
- Small-town laughs
- Rivals to lovers

I don't think I've ever read a book where I laughed so much. I actually had to stop reading several times so I could get myself together & wait for the tears to dry up! My grandson knocked on my door & asked if I was ok..lol! Max & Betty are wonderfully awkward & their weird interractions were a delight to read. I can highly recommend this read! Thank you Alina
If you’re looking for a hilarious, chaotic, small-town Christmas romance with just the right amount of heart, Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal absolutely delivers.From the moment these two collide—literally—it's pure holiday mayhem in the best way. Their rivalry is heated, dramatic, and so funny you’ll catch yourself smiling through whole chapters. Max is grumpy, stressed, and a little suspicious of anyone within ornament-throwing distance, while Betty is the perfect cinnamon-roll disaster with enough cheer to power an entire Christmas parade.The mix of blizzards, misunderstandings, dramatic small-town gossip, and one heartbreakingly meaningful stolen ornament makes this story feel both laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly tender. And watching their “I don’t like you” banter slowly melt into “Okay… maybe I actually really like you” is pure holiday magic.If you love festive chaos, quirky towns, and enemies-to-lovers with a big cozy heart, this book is an instant win. Perfect for curling up with a blanket, hot cocoa, and zero guilt.
Great and funny
Loved how my neighbor stole Christmas so I had to get this one. Cute book, made me laugh out loud a couple of times from the characteristics of the male lead.
Atlas and Betty were definitely a match made in heaven. Their rambling when they get nervous was hilarious. Some of the best conversations you’ll ever read. 🤣This is such a cute book. It’s sweet, funny, sexy and spicy. Let’s just say chocolate covered cherries and popcorn garland will never be the same.You will fall in love with Atlas, Betty and Kringletown. Definitely a 5 star holiday read.
