Her siblings are nonplussed, not because they're homophobic but because she has been bringing a different girl home every year since setting out on her own as an adult. The gay married couple is peripheral here, so it’s not required. Let the nostalgia begin!
Fortunately, with so many different streaming services, you can now find some of these movies on multiple outlets, giving evidence that maybe they weren’t quite so disposable after all.
1) The Christmas Setup (2020) – Lifetime, Hulu, Sling TV
Older star playing a parent: Fran Drescher
Romantic chemistry?

A Keller Christmas Vacation (2025)
Jonathan Bennet, who is trullllly kind of single-handedly keeping the lights on for gay men on the Hallmark Channel, stars in this year's offering as one of three adult siblings on a European adventure.
Varying between the two couples.
The aforementioned Tyler Frey wrote the screenplay and stars in this gay version of the Kate Winslet/Cameron Diaz rom-com The Holiday.

16) The Christmas Baby (2025) – Hallmark+
Hallmark’s singular gay-centric movie of 2025 is set to premiere on December 21st.

Where to watch: Netflix
The Holiday Sitter (2022)
Sam, a confirmed single and workaholic, reluctantly agrees to babysit his nieces and nephews during the Christmas season.
This is a documentary about lesbian bar culture. Check off more than a couple of those boxes and I might watch it again next year… if I can remember the title and what channel it was on.
In 2022, I put together a list of these movies to try and keep them straight, so to speak. However, nobody really needs the money except Frey, who wants to save the grand ole Marley house (again, a model home decorated at Kohl’s.) Someone actually says “I don’t need the money.
A cut above Lifetime/Hallmark movies but I’m including it because it satisfies the same itch. He must have an ironclad contract. Stewart’s girlfriend invites her home for Christmas but fails to mention that she’s not out to her family and they must pretend to be friends.
