Here TV LGBTQ-themed Holiday watchlist

The time of year has come for you to light your fireplace, whip up some eggnog (preferably with a little brandy), and invite all of your queer friends over for holiday movie night!

We have gathered here the top four holiday themed movies and specials on Here TV to add to your holiday watchlist!

Too Cool for Christmas

In this holiday comedy, 16 year-old Lindsay thinks she’s too cool to hang with her family on Christmas. With a ski trip already planned with her firends for the holidays instead, Lindsay hits the mall to go shopping. After meeting a mall Santa who needs a makeover, she takes him under her wing. Shortly after, he makes a shocking revelation – he’s actually the real Santa! Soon, she finds herself delivering Christmas presents with Santa himself, as she learns the true meaning of Christmas.

This 2004 Canadian family film actually has two versions – a gay one and a straight one! In this version of the film, Lindsay has two gay dads. However, in a second version called A Very Cool Christmas, Lindsay’s gay parents are switched out for a heterosexual couple. Catch the gay version on Here TV!
