There are two versions of the film, the one that features a homosexual character and the one that doesn't. In the one called Too Cool For Christmas, Lindsay's parents are actually a gay couple. In the version called A Very Cool Christmas, Lindsay's parents are a heterosexual couple. Barclay Hope plays her dad in both versions, while Adam Harrington plays her other dad and Hope's husband in the first version and Ingrid Torrance plays her mom and Hope's wife in the second version. Other than the gender of the actor that plays the other parent, the two versions of the film are virtually identical with identical lines being delivered by both the actor and the actress and the exact same camera shots being used for their scenes in both versions as if the two versions of the film were shot at the same time. According to the director, Sam Irvin, the movie was produced to be shown at Here TV, a LGBTQ+ channel. Since Here TV didn't have the budget to produce this movie, it has been decided to also make a heterosexual version to sell it to other channel networks like Lifetime and show the original version with the homosexual couple on Here TV.
