This playlist follows the book’s jump from Christmas-dinner chaos and awkward old feelings to the warmth of choosing each other: wintry instrumentals set the scene, while the songs move through teasing, longing, and holiday romance. A few brighter, offbeat selections nod to the fake-dating scramble, the zombie-Santa diner shift, and Lauren’s wonderfully impulsive idea of love.
