Christmas gay movie
Netflix’s first gay holiday rom-com
When the holiday season rolls around, I find myself pulled towards the lure of Hallmark-esque Christmas movies. They’re simply irresistible with charming small towns, cheesy romances, and holiday cheer.
Netflix has a wide range of original holiday movies out, and heaps of them are released every November. While I haven’t seen all of them, there certainly are a couple of gems.
Of course, it’s a fair critique to say that these types of movies are very formulaic and cliche. With unrealistic plotlines and predictable twists, the movies are by no means masterpieces. The once brooding love interest will always find the true meaning of Christmas, and any threats to the holiday will be miraculously resolved. However, despite the cheesiness, there is something so lighthearted and fun about these movies that is hard to ignore.
With Christmas approaching, I set out to watch a recent movie.
Number 8 on Netflix’s top ten charts was “Single All The Way,” released December 2nd, 2021. The show centers on two gay best friends trying to navigate the holidays support home and, you guessed it, their feelings for one another.

This list was originally published on December 9, 2021. It has been updated to include the latest movies in the growing queer Christmas-movie canon.
Not too long ago, LGBTQ+ people who wanted to see themselves represented in holiday movies could either (a) fictional or (b) settle for a second-rate film with a homosexual character who had very limited lines, ambition, or development.
Early in the contemporary queer holiday canon, 2005’s The Family Stone, which stars gay icon Sarah Jessica Parker as a (shocker) snobby New Yorker spending the holidays at her boyfriend’s family place, became a queer hit for its B-plot gay couple with ambitions to adopt a infant. And while the film is still worth an annual observe, so much more has happened in seasonal cinema since SJP’s iconic spilled-strata scene with matriarch Diane Keaton. That is, homosexual and lesbian Christmas movies actually center queer people now — same-sex holiday revelers crush and fall in love, break up, regain romance, and just reside the same celebratory December
Last week, Queerty posted an article proclaiming, “The Hallmark Channel is gayer than ever this year!” This is followed by a massive list of exactly THREE movies that they consider gay. The first one, Catch Me If You Claus stars Luke Macfarlane in his 16th movie for the network. Yes, the Bros co-star is gay in actual life, but the ethics in the film is not. Kudos to him for continuing to be cast in straight roles, but… do we then count this as a gay film?
The second film on their list, Christmas on Cherry Lane is an ensemble piece that includes a gay couple. Jonathan Bennett, Hallmark’s go-to gay actor for lgbtq+ roles plays opposite Vincent Rodriguez III. It airs December 9th.
The third movie, Friends and Family Christmas centers on lesbian friends (Humberly Gonzalez & Ali Liebert) who must pose as a couple for the holidays… and you’ll never guess what happens! This one premieres on December 17th.
So there you have it. As a reminder: The Hallmark Channel is premiering 42 – FORTY-TWO – new Hallmark Christmas movies this season. And we’re supposed to kvell because TWO of them are gay-ish? Honey, please.
Since 2020, a not many of these gay disposab
