Friends & Family Christmas

As soon as I discovered Hallmark made a queer Christmas movie with 2 female leads, I was excited to watch it. However I was sadly disappointed. The leads were cute but had NO CHEMISTRY WHATSOEVER! The plot was lacking and weak, one of the leads was always taking off leaving her "pretend girlfriend for the holidays only" alone to entertain her parents from out of town. Constantly! They did nothing fun together like you expect in these movies. I felt that the pretend girlfriend was being used and I would have told the other off. This could have been so much better. Try again with a better script Hallmark!

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'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!

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!

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!
