Friends & Family Christmas is everything that those of us who want an easy, cheesy Christmas romcom could ask for. Low stakes, lots of twinkly lights, and two openly queer actresses playing the romantic leads.

I didn’t feel pandered to when it came to Friends & Family Christmas. Instead, it felt like this movie understood that [queer] people like me also want to fall in love, flirt, blush, kiss, and see the will they/won’t they of it all.

Rated: A

This is a very sweet movie that was incredibly well done by the cast. Humberly and Ali had great chemistry and showed what love and representation looks like. Highly recommended.

The queer joy in this movie is exactly what I needed and the fact that it's cast with two queer actresses is the cherry on top of the rainbow cake. I can probably speak for most of the wlw community when I say we genuinely crave content like this with full and complete characters who are happily in love but we rarely get it so thank you to everyone involved in making this happen 🩷

We really enjoyed this movie! It was definitely Hallmark-ey, but also very enjoyable with some laugh out loud lines. It's been way too long of a wait for this movie. Great job!
