At the same time, I actually wanted to like this movie because this is the first mainstream LGBTQ+ movie of its kind and that’s important for the normalization of all the love forms. So when I started to watch Hulu’s “Happiest Season,” a Christmas rom-com that debuted on Thanksgiving featuring a lesbian couple, I was skeptical because of the holiday rom-com genre. I’m not usually a Hallmark holiday movie person – I’ve maybe seen five in my life and they have morphed into one holly jolly snowflakes-on-sweaters memory. The world of Our Favorite Christmas Movies is not objective instead it’s partially based on the repetition of watching these films and the nostalgia we’ve created around them. There is no black-and-white, good-or-bad, naughty or nice when it comes to what we dig in an X-mas flick. Some of us appreciate a cozy, cornball holiday romance, whereas others prefer more of a Griswold vibe. New Christmas movies are easy to dismiss because we all have our favorite festive flicks long established.
