Have Yourself A Merry Little Lezmas

Damn, this past week’s news cycle has been bleak. I don’t know about you, but it has been extra hard to get into the holiday spirit this year. It’s 2025, the horrors persist, but so do we. Like, next week is Christmas? Shit, how’d that happen? So, if you celebrate or just want to feel a semblance of lesbian joy this season, here are two opportunities to deck the halls with lots of sapphics. We have not one, but TWO lesbian made-for-TV Christmas movies to look forward to. Yes, stop snickering. You know you look forward to the Hallmark/Lifetime cheesiness as long as it’s gay.

First up is “The Christmas Baby” starring “Bomb Girls” star and Hallmark’s resident lesbian Ali Liebert and half of Wynonna Earp’s WayHaught Katherine Barrell. They play a couple who finds, you guessed it, a baby during the holidays. Like it just shows up, poof. Talk about your immaculate birth. Well, at least it avoids the pregnant lesbian trope. “The Christmas Baby” airs at 8 p.m. Sunday on Hallmark Channel.

Next up, at least for our Canadian friends, is “The Firefighter’s Christmas Calendar” (formerly “The Firefighter’s Christmas Wish,” but after watching that trailer “Calendar” does make more sense…). The premise, a queer female photographer goes to shoot a sexy firefighter Christmas calendar and runs into a sexy also queer female firefighter. That old chestnut! But seriously, I will be watching this. Well, I would be at 8 p.m. Sunday on W Wetwork – if I lived in Canada. The project was first announced for Lifetime, but no U.S. air date is scheduled yet. But trust me, if I find out, I’ll tell you. Or, better yet, find a Canadian friend – and invite me!

OK, so feeling a little more festive? I know If we can’t be merry, at least we can be gay.
