The Christmas House

I see hallmark is adding some diversity changes which I like finally we get some representation. We see gay couples abs latinas on screen and screw the haters this is 2020 where lgbtq is acceptable and your hate is going nowhere. This movie was lovely with all the Christmas elements

I love it very much. For freshness and atmosphere, for actors and delicate - precise explore of delicate themes. And for poetic realism, humor,for eulogy of family and crumbs of wisdome. And, not least, for the courage and well manner to use gay relations in a context not comfortable but familiar for this category. A house. Its family, a decision, secrets of family members and charming end. The images from past are just inspired support for this admirable mix of nostalgia, soft bitterness and small joys , significant as demonstration of family spirit. A lovely story, inspired cast , charming Christmas house and good supporting actors . Short, a beautiful film, for its high honesty.

Not the usual Hallmark movie, it's refreshing. Kudos to the writing and teleplay teams and the great casting. The usual Hallmark is a formulaic focus on a single woman who finds romance, it's soapy and can be sickly sweet. This is about a family, actually three families, a house and cultures and real life. Kudos to Hallmark.

I was excited to watch the first Hallmark Christmas movie with gay couple (though I recall a lesbian couple in a recent one...). This is a feel good family movie with various subplots. The newly retired parents have grown apart, the actor son has career issues, and the younger, gay son and his husband are trying to adopt a baby. They all converge to put on a crazy, over-decorated house that's open to the public like they did years ago. Nice, feel good movie. I really enjoyed the inclusion of an LGBT storyline and that the couple was just a normal part of the family. Well done, Hallmark!

6/10 - Hallmark's groundbreaking step to include a gay couple as part of the main storyline quite frankly deserved a better plot line altogether
