5 pop culture themed holiday cookbooks to get you into the spirit of the season

With the holidays upon us, you might be looking for some seasonal inspiration. And what better place to get that inspiration than with a holiday cookbook? With some cookbooks, it’s not just recipes. They also contain ideas for decorating and setting a beautiful table. And yes, how to plan a menu for the holidays.

There are so many cookbooks on the market. And, there are so many holiday cookbooks as well. So it can be hard to find ones that are perfect all season long or that inspire you.

Luckily for us, we have found some that we are obsessed with. And one of the reasons we are obsessed with them is because these cookbooks are not just any Christmas cookbooks. These are pop culture cookbooks. These are cookbooks inspired by some of our favorite holiday movies. At least one of these cookbooks is inspired by an entire amusement park. And still, another is inspired by books, movies, and coming soon a TV show.

So what are these holiday cookbooks that are getting us into the spirit of the season in style?
