Mistletoe Kisses - Weihnachten wird bunt

I very rarely watch Hallmark movies, but I've had this one on my radar ever since it was announced and I'm so glad the premiere date finally arrived! We love a fake dating trope, we love cheesy Christmas content and, most importantly, we love lesbians <3

This film was so cute and fun. I thought the leads had great chemistry (and they were played by two out queer actresses, yay!) and the supporting cast was great as well. No spoilers but the twist toward the very end was sweet and managed to tie the whole film together :)

I can already see myself rewatching this every year around Christmastime!

I'm very happy to see solid sapphic representation from Hallmark! In general, this positive, normalized, lighthearted depiction of romance between two women is refreshing and heartwarming. The plot, however, is not anything revolutionary. I don't think it needs to be though! It's a sweet and joyous Hallmark movie staple that gets me feeling cozy for the holiday season. Moreover, the romance has its naturally awkward moments that make it feel realistic and relatable like not knowing how to start a conversation on the first meeting and not knowing how to bid goodnight. The parents' support and constant presence is entertaining as well. A lovely community for the holiday cheer.

I've been watching Hallmark movies for over a decade and I'm so excited that they're telling lesbian stories now! I was waiting for this one all year. My two favorite things are combined <3

This movie is super cute, love the fake dating trope, and there's a sweet love story all throughout. Loved the costumes so much and the script was fantastic! The two actresses are adorable, they had great chemistry.

I will definitely be rewatching this one each christmas along with The Holiday Sitter, Hallmark's gay christmas movie. I'm so proud of the evolution of this network, it's so wonderful to see this representation!

It's not great cinema, because that's not what Christmas movies are about. But it's as solid and enjoyable as television Christmas romances get. The leads are both fun to watch and their chemistry is great. The fact that they are gay is not a plot point - no confusion or coming out of the closet angst - it's just treated as a matter of fact like their hair color or height. It's refreshing to see. And in what I like to think is an homage to "Carol" a pair of gloves is a major plot point. (Not a spoiler, I promise. Just, what is it with lesbians and losing their gloves?) Bottom line, if you want a lighthearted Christmas movie that's not the same old cable holiday movie you've seen a hundred times, give this a shot.

I'm always looking for cute lesbian christmas movies, and this one hits the spot! It has all the traits of a cheesy Hallmark movie, but with two women (with lgbt friends) and no coming out plot? We love to see it. Both their families are so supportive of them and the conflict is truly about the relationship and not each person's identity. Ali and Humberly do a fantastic job and I think you could really tell that Ali, a queer woman herself, was an executive producer because the movie was done so well. It's important to have LGBT people behind the scenes too! Props to her for doing both 😁 Anyways, I want to watch it again soon. Happy Holidays!
