Happiest Season
Director Clea DuVall wrote the film as an autobiography. She has said that she wrote it so she could see her own experiences play out on screen.,There are no wine stores in PA like they one they shop at due to PA liquor laws.,John: Hey, Harper not coming out to her parents has nothing to do with you.
Abby: How could it not?
John: Remind me, what did your parents say when you told them you were gay?
Abby: Um, that they loved and supported me.
John: That's amazing! My dad kicked me out of the house and didn't talk to me for 13 years after I told him. Everybody's story is different. There's your version and my version, and everything in between. But the one thing all of those stories have in common is that moment right before you say those words. When your heart is racing and you don't know what's coming next. That moment's really terrifying! And once you say those words, you can't un-say them. A chapter has ended, and a new one's begun. You have to be ready for that. You can't do it for anyone else.,The end credits are accompanied by Instagram snapshots of various episodes in the family's life: Jane's book, Thanksgiving, Ted's election as Mayor, etc. for the following year, through to the next Christmas. This is done in the usual over-the-top, silly manner of social media, with various affixed handles and hashtag missives like "@JaneCaldwell," "proudmom," "#lovemyguy," "#en-gay-ged #lol," etc. One photo shows the twins looking like zombies for their birthday.,Edited into Amanda the Jedi Show: Happiest Season Broke Me: Explained (2020),Candy Cane Lane

By arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing,I watched this movie for Dan Levy, and he did not disappoint. He is a national treasure and deserved more screen time. Kristen Stewart wasn't as bad as I thought she would be. Aubrey Plaza was a delight. I love the rest of the cast, but their characters were annoying. Harper was an absolutely horrible girlfriend, and I was actually rooting for Abby and Riley to end up together instead. Overall, not that bad of a movie because I'm just happy to finally see an LGBTQ Christmas rom-com, but this could have been done so much better.,
