Happiest Season would incite such heated debates over the holiday season? Iâm talking about a popular discussion that has held since the Hulu movie broke major viewership numbers last month. Kristen Stewartâs Abby makes up with Mackenzie Davisâ Harper after she brings her home to her family still-closeted, leading to a slew of uncomfortable situations for her to endure. But, what about Aubrey Plazaâs Riley?

The Christmas House (2020)
The Christmas House is Hallmark’s first movie featuring an LGBTQ+ couple as key characters. It follows the star of the fictional series
Handsome Justice, Mike (Robert Buckley) as he heads back home to help his family turn their home into the Christmas house. Quickly, Mike learns that this Christmas isn’t going to be as happy and magical as he expects.
Jonathan Bennett plays Mike’s brother Brandon and Brad Harder plays Brandon’s husband Jake. Treat Williams and Sharon Lawrence play their parents. Ana Ayora plays Andi, Mike’s hometown love interest.
The Christmas House was quite different from many Hallmark Christmas movies, in a good way–mainly because it dealt with more somber topics before it got its Christmas cheer. Brandon and Jake’s storyline was a subplot, but an important one as it dealt with them trying to adopt.

While some love the fact that Kristen Stewart s Abby winds up forgiving Mackenzie Davis Harper and they get a happily ever after ending, there are also many who would have preferred to see Abby wind up with Aubrey Plaza s Riley instead. It has inspired a fair amount of back-and-forth on social media, but in circumstances like this it s always great to hear the filmmakers perspective, and DuVall has explained why it is that she chose the finale that she did.
