Opinion | Dana Piccoli: Hulu's LGBTQ Christmas movie 'Happiest Season' is the rom-com queer fans deserve. - NBCNewsTHINK

) in this comedy. She’s a perfect mix of adorable and awkward as Abby, who is trying not to let Harper’s deception bring her down. She has wonderful chemistry with Davis, providing a main couple you will be rooting for.

Davis brings a tender sweetness to Harper, who both fears the rejection of her family and craves her connection with Abby. As Abby’s best friend John, Levy plays a version of his famous David Rose character, a quirky and quick queer man whose tongue is sharp, but whose heart is soft. Not a huge departure for him, but fun to witness, nonetheless. Harper’s high school ex-girlfriend Riley, played by Aubrey Plaza, also brings some serious heat to the film.

And sure, some viewers will say that the film’s coming out storyline has been done to death. Normally I would agree. However, it’s a mistake to think coming out isn’t still incredibly fraught in America, and the way “Happiest Season” handles the conflict between Harper and Abby is tough and touching in all the best ways. It’s certainly something that many of us can relate to — and it’s great that this kind of plot is going to be seen by so many different Americans.

THINK May the queers celebrate! Glad that is now politically correct that I can use in the work place. 👍

THINK “Queer fans”? Isn’t that just a bit derogatory? I have family members who are part of the LGBTQ community that I love unconditionally, but I wouldn’t describe myself a “queer fan”.

THINK Just finished it and it was wonderful. I will easily watch it again.

THINK 🤮

THINK Jane Fonda called the COVID-19 pandemic 'God's gift to the Left.' that tells the opportunism of the Democratic Party. Do they care about the 200K+ Americans, or do they consider these unfortunate victims to be props to use in the anti-Trump drama they subject us to day after day?

THINK I’m not queer and I want to see it too!

THINK I'll pass not that there is anything wrong with it.I am just an old traditional type A Christmas Story,National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,Elf,Charlie Brown Christmas,It's a Wonderful Life,White Christmas
