In a Holidaze is a cute, fast read. As this was my first holiday-themed romance read, I thought I would be overwhelmed by the cheesiness. But, it was quite cozy and I enjoyed the setting and the plot device of being surrounded by chosen family. I liked the Groundhog Day idea being tied to the repetitiveness of holiday traditions. Yes, May was caught in a time warp reliving the same week of Christmas over and over, but her and her family essentially do that every year anyways. I felt like one of the brothers was basically a non-character, even though he seemed to be at the crux of the conflict, which was kind of weird. The steam is PG-13, but don't listen to it with your family. Overall, this is a fun read, and I enjoyed it.
