Friends & Family Christmas

Christmas is considered by many to be the best time of the year. Love is in the air and we feel that anything can happen with love, support and hope.

So, I love Christmas movies and now ''Friends and Family Christmas'' has been added to my list of favourites. It is a sweet, upbeat film.

The leads, Ali Liebert and Humberly Gonzalez, are adorable and have great chemistry. I quite like that the parents are well written and have several scenes. I was also surprised by the script, I found it very engaging. In short, the movie is lovely and I recommend it!

Merry Christmas to you and your families!!!

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!

Friends & Family Christmas is everything you want in a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie. It has found family, fake dating, falling in love, and a touch of drama. It showcases friendship, ambition, and different family dynamics while being a love story at heart. Sure it follows the classic Hallmark Rom Com formula, but that's why we watch these shows. Isn't it? We want to see cheesy, happy love stories. We want to feel all warm and cozy inside as we watch two people fall in love. So if you're needing something light and heartwarming this holiday season, I highly recommend Friends & Family Christmas.

This movie is everything that you would expect from a Hallmark movie and more because it is, I believe, a first Hallmark movie with two queer woman in a lead. If you are looking for a cozy and heartwarming queer Christmas movie to watch during the holidays, then you will for sure enjoy the Friends and Family Christmas.

The movie delivers on its promise of a feel-good romance that will make you smile. The actors are likable and have good chemistry, the scenery is beautiful, and the message is uplifting.

Friends and Family Christmas is a perfect movie for fans of Hallmark who want to escape into a world of magical Christmas and love.

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.
