Not too drawn-out ago, LGBTQ+ people who wanted to see themselves represented in holiday movies could either (a) pretend or (b) settle for a second-rate film with a queer character who had very few lines, ambition, or development.
Early in the contemporary queer holiday canon, ’s The Family Stone, which stars gay icon Sarah Jessica Parker as a (shocker) snobby Recent Yorker spending the holidays at her boyfriend’s family residence, became a queer hit for its B-plot gay couple with ambitions to adopt a child. And while the film is still worth an annual watch, so much more has happened in seasonal cinema since SJP’s iconic spilled-strata scene with matriarch Diane Keaton.

The only LGBTQ+ story on Hallmark's docket of almost 50 movies is one of three sequels to Christmas on Cherry Lane, with Mike and Zain's romance again sharing the narrative with two other couples.
