HAPPIEST SEASON

Director: Clea DuVall
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Mary Holland, Alison Brie, Daniel Levy, Aubrey Plaza, Ana Gasteyer

Move over Netflix and Hallmark as Hulu has one of the best new Christmas movies you’ll see all year with Happiest Season. Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis, play Abby and Harper, a couple trying to figure out their Christmas plans. As Abby, Kristen Stewart doesn’t really care for Christmas and is ambivalent about celebrating at all. Both of her parents have passed away, so she’s not beholden to family traditions. The same can’t be said of Harper and her obsession over the season. She invites Abby to go back home to her parents’ house for Christmas, but there’s one big problem hanging over them as Harper has not come out as gay to her overly conservative parents played by Victor Garber and Mary Steenburgen. Garber’s character is running for mayor of their hometown, so appearances and the perfect lifestyle are constantly under a microscope. Streams on Hulu November 25
