Happiest Season – Representation Matters, Even In Christmas Films | Movie Review

November 20, 2020 by EJ Moreno

Happiest Season, 2020.

Directed by Clea DuVall.
Starring Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Dan Levy, Holland, Victor Garber, and Mary Steenburgen.

The LGBTQ community gets their first mainstream Christmas movie, and our host EJ Moreno breaks down why Happiest Season is a wholesome good time. Everything you’ve come to know and love from romantic comedies is present here, letting viewers know that everyone deserves their own heartfelt holiday movie.

Watch the review below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

Meeting your girlfriend’s family for the first time can be tough. Planning to propose at her family’s annual Christmas dinner — until you realize that they don’t even know she’s gay — is even harder. When Abby (Kristen Stewart) learns that Harper (Mackenzie Davis) has kept their relationship a secret from her family, she begins to question the girlfriend she thought she knew. Happiest Season is a holiday romantic comedy that hilariously captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family’s acceptance, being true to yourself, and trying not to ruin Christmas.

Happiest Season is set for release on Hulu on November 25th, 2020.
