When Harper invites girlfriend Abby home to spend the holidays with her family, an elated Abby plans to use the occasion to propose marriage. There’s just one hitch, however. Harper’s conservative parents don’t know she’s gay. So, their idyllic Christmastime becomes one of strained-pretence as Abby spends the next five days trying to pass as Harper’s “orphan roommate”, instead of her romantic partner.
To those weary of formulaic, hetero Hallmark movies, Happiest Season is the perfect present: the first LGBTQ+ holiday rom-com from a major studio. Plus, it offers a jaw-dropping roster of talented comic actors. Alison Brie (Community) and Mary Holland (Veep) play siblings Sloane and Jane; Dan Levy of Schitt's Creek fame is John, Abby’s best friend and confidante, while Park and Recreation’s Aubrey Plaza is Harper's old flame Riley.
Mixing farce with heartfelt humor and a starry cast, this coming out tale is one that the whole family can rally behind. Ready to feel festive? Then keep reading as we explain how to watch Happiest Season online from anywhere now.
