Best gay christmas movies 2022

Last week, Queerty posted an article proclaiming, “The Hallmark Channel is gayer than ever this year!” This is followed by a massive list of exactly THREE movies that they consider gay.

Kudos to him for continuing to be cast in straight roles, but… do we then count this as a gay film?

The second movie on their list, Christmas on Cherry Lane is an ensemble piece that includes a gay couple. Jonathan Bennett, Hallmark’s go-to gay actor for gay roles plays other side Vincent Rodriguez III. It airs December 9th.

Season's Greetings From Cherry Lane ()

The only LGBTQ+ story on Hallmark's docket of almost 50 movies is one of three sequels to Christmas on Cherry Lane, with Mike and Zain's romance again sharing the narrative with two other couples. (The whole point of the Cherry Lane movies is that different couples have fallen in love at the same house. It's savage to think that eight of the nine couples are straight. Anyway!) Unless I'm wrong and Sugarplummed ends with Janel Parrish and Maggie Lawson getting together, this is it.
