Trivia
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.

Goofs
There are no wine stores in PA like they one they shop at due to PA liquor laws.

Quotes
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.
[pauses]
John: Just because Harper isn't ready doesn't mean she never will be, and it doesn't mean she doesn't love you.

Crazy credits
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.

#TeamAubreyPlaza

Happiest Season deserves a lot of credit for the grace with which it handles coming out, especially from within a family full of such insufferable jerks. Still, I can't help but feel like the Mackenzie Davis character gets away with a bit too much truly terrible behavior to make the ending satisfying. #TeamAubreyPlaza all day...not since Ducky in "Pretty in Pink"...
