This list was originally published on December 9, It has been updated to contain the latest movies in the growing queer Christmas-movie canon.
Not too drawn-out ago, LGBTQ+ people who wanted to see themselves represented in holiday movies could either (a) fake or (b) settle for a second-rate film with a queer character who had very few lines, ambition, or development.
