There are just so many lovely winter stories. As an alternative to reading out loud together, we have also been enjoying listening to the audio winter stories by Sparkle Stories. Sparkle Stories offers inspiring simple beautiful audio books about nature, family, community, celebrations, fairies, and more heartwarming themes, through their website (with lots of free sample stories as well).
We love many of those two. The Snowman by Raymond Briggs is also top of the list, although I never really know how to 'read' it. The movie is a huge fave too, perhaps the only movie we watch somewhat regularly.
