Christmas at the Ranch with Julia McKay
Christmas at the Ranch: A cozy author celebration with Julia McKay (aka Marissa Stapley)
Giddy-up, book lovers—this is the holiday event you've been dreaming about! ✨
Join us on December 7th from 2:00-4:30pm at the absolutely enchanting Valley Ridge Farms (615852 3 Line, Ravenna, ON N0H 2E0) for an afternoon that perfectly captures the magic of Julia McKay's newest second-chance romance, Christmas at the Ranch.
Picture this: You're bundled up in your coziest sweater, hands wrapped around steaming hot cocoa, surrounded by the kind of winter wonderland that makes your heart skip a beat. You'll settle in for an intimate author talk with Julia herself—hearing the stories behind the story, the inspiration that sparked this swoony holiday romance, and all those delicious behind-the-scenes details we always want to know! And yes, you're walking away with a signed copy of the book. 💕
But here's where it gets absolutely magical...
You'll experience an authentic horse-drawn sleigh ride through snow-dusted landscapes that look like they've been pulled straight from the book's cover. Feel the crisp winter air on your cheeks, hear the jingle of sleigh bells, and let yourself be transported into the very world Julia created. This is romance novel escapism at its finest, friends!
The afternoon also includes a farm animal experience—because nothing says cozy country Christmas quite like meeting the gentle creatures who make ranch life so special—and we'll gather around a crackling campfire to warm up, share stories, and soak in that community magic that makes book events so incredibly special.
Tickets are $95 + tax and include absolutely everything: the author talk, your signed book, the sleigh ride, farm experience, and all the hot cocoa your heart desires.
This event will sell out—I'm not being dramatic, I'm being realistic. These intimate, experiential book celebrations are exactly what our community craves, especially during the holiday season when we're all searching for that perfect blend of magic, connection, and literary joy.
So saddle up and secure your spot for what promises to be the most enchanting afternoon of your December! 🎄❄️
