Now this is how you make your yuletide gay. Hallmark’s new lesbian rom-com “Friends & Family Christmas” is cute. Like genuinely, truly cute. Adorable even. There’s a fake dating premise. And an accidental glove swap. And a grand romantic gesture. And sweet lady kisses. Really, what more could you want from a holiday rom-com? It helps that its stars, Ali Liebert and Humberly Gonzalez, have some genuine chemistry. Plus the dads are the ones who set them up, which is a refreshing change for the genre. And the movie moves along at a pleasant pace. And, again, it’s cute. It’s a lesbian Hallmark* rom-com and it’s cute and the yuletide has never been gayer. (*Also available on Peacock.)
p.s. If you’re looking for another cute Hallmark holiday rom-com with lesbians this season (I know, teenage me would never have believed we’d have options), you should check out “Round and Round.” It’s a Jewish Hanukkah rom-com with a Groundhog Day-lite twist that is also extremely cute. And there’s a lesbian sister and her wife. Like, seriously, you clock your first lesbian less than 2 minutes into this thing. Happy holidays, indeed.
