A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter (2024)

The "Espresso" singer's holiday special is 100 percent for the girls and for the gays.

NONE.

A real-life gay couple with no chemistry try to find a hidden treasure… before it’s too late! Between misunderstandings, laughter, and romantic moments, both will discover deeper feelings than they ever expected. So while I do recommend this underrated gem, keep that in mind before you press play. In recent years, films have emerged that portray the holidays through a more inclusive, modern, and diverse lens.

Romantic chemistry? Maybe I’m being a sap, but this couple grew on me.

The sequel to the above film. See, homophobic audiences? Between comedic situations, misunderstandings, and emotional moments, the couple must confront their fears and prove the value of authenticity. That's the messy stuff of dreams!

Amid social pressures and hidden desires, an intense, refined, and passionate relationship unfolds. Perfect for those who love Christmas movies with a teen-movie vibe, featuring an ensemble cast and a romantic, feel-good narrative. I’m not here to crap on the genre, but there is a conveyor belt feel to these films. This one beat out Under The Christmas Tree to win the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Movie.

A cut above Lifetime/Hallmark movies but I’m including it because it satisfies the same itch. He also co-wrote this script, in which he actually tells the family dog “Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen.” I have nothing more to say.
