Itβs that time of year again, and weβll soon be settling in on the couch to watch our favorite Christmas movies.
While we all enjoy the classics, Iβm sure many of you would like to add some lesbian Christmas movies to your viewing list this year.Β Β
Lesbian Christmas movies were nearly unheard of until lately. In reality, lesbian representation in any film, let alone a holiday film, was uncommon.Β
Thankfully, a lot has changed in recent years, and Christmas movies are finally diversifying (in many ways).
There are more lesbian movies and shows than ever before.Β Also, there are lesbian Christmas movies! When we first learned about Happiest Season, we were overjoyed.
There are, however, other lesbian Christmas movies and series (as well as other lesbian holiday movies!) to watch besides Happiest Season.
Some of the bestΒ lesbianΒ Christmas movies are;
1. Happiest Season (2020)
I love romcoms, and there is never enough cute lesbian rom-com, in my opinion. On this list, The Happiest Season is the most recent lesbian Christmas movie.Β Β
However, the plot is simpleβa young lady wants to propose to her girlfriend at her familyβs annual holiday party but learns that her partner hasnβt told her conservative parents.
Starring Kristen Stewart. Aubrey Plaza, Mackenzie Davis, Mary Steenburgen, Alison Brie.Β
2. Under The Christmas Tree (2021)
Under the Christmas tree is new for the 2021 holiday season, a much-anticipated lesbian Christmas movie.
Furthermore, the American cable channel Lifetime just announced the premiere of Under the Christmas Tree, the channelβs first-ever lesbian romance.
Because the film will be released on December 19th, we donβt know much about what to expect. Lifetime, on the other hand, has released the following description:Β Β
Alma Beltran and Charlie Freemont, a Christmas tree whisperer, cross paths when Charlie discovers the perfect tree for the Maine Governorβs Holiday Celebration in Almaβs backyard.
Furthermore, while the two women initially bicker, romantic sparks fly between them as the enchanted tree.
