You’ve got suburban Christian moms in middle America dozing on the couch to the tune of jingling bells, leftover turkey tucked into the fridge, when out on the rooftop, what should appear? LESBIANISM!Īnd actually, Becca’s not even the biggest surprise of the movie, but I don’t want to spoil that for you. This was one of Hallmark’s first rollouts of the season, with no hint of the queer subplot. It also makes Becca’s unexpected gayness even more subversive. For the first time ever, Digital Playground contract stars Jesse Jane and Kayden Kross sizzle together as a dynamic duo burning up the screen with scorching passion. Dangerous explosions, life or death situations, and powerful desire makes everyone live for the moment. She’s able to halt Jamie’s incessant whining with her wry verbal smackdowns! She’s got her own subplot and is more than just a sounding board for the main characters! And she has one scene with Jamie that actually made me laugh out loud for real!Įverything else in the movie is just copy/paste from other Hallmark holiday films, which is fine, honestly that’s the reason people watch these movies. Body Heat Fire has never been so hot since these sexy firefighters took over the station. But that’s just whatever, because when Jamie and Emily get home for the holidays, we meet Becca, Jamie’s sister, who just happens to be a divorced lesbian and single mom who steals the show. Three years ago we had was Carol and that was it!Ībsolutely not that’s our trope stay away from it!Īnyway I love unexpected lesbians, especially when they ruin Christmas for homophobes, so this little Hallmark ditty was a hit for me! It starts out with some straights, Jamie and Emily, stealing one of our best fan fiction tropes - fake dating! - as they attend Jamie’s family’s wholesome family Christmas good times. There’s even a Keira Knightley / Lily-Rose Depp holiday horror movie called Silent Night that’s gay and coming to theaters. Vh1’s got RuPaul’s The Bitch Who Stole Christmas featuring all drag queens.

HBO Max’s Santa, Inc.’s got Gabourey Sidibe as Goldie, an openly bisexual reindeer. Netflix’s 12 Dates of Christmas features a whole stocking full of bisexuals. There’s Tello’s new holiday rom-com, Christmas at the Ranch. There’s Bomb Girls‘ star Ali Liebert‘s Every Time a Bell Rings, coming to Hallmark. In fact, An Unexpected Christmas wasn’t even on our radar because of all the other queer Christmas movies landing this season.įor example! There’s Carmilla star Elise Bauman‘s Under The Christmas Tree, coming to Lifetime. Which is true in more ways than this woman could have known when she had her little Thanksgiving social media fit. I first learned of the unexpected lesbian in An Unexpected Christmas when I saw a tweet come across my timeline from some straight mom somewhere in like Kansas screeching about how not even Hallmark Christmas movies are safe from The Homosexual Agenda anymore.
