Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Heather Mancuso (Alison Arngrim) comes to wish the Gunnundersons a Merry Christmas, Anya Gunnunderson says to Heather "Oh, don't be such a Nellie!" Arngrim played the part of Nellie Oleson on the 1974 series Little House on the Prairie.
- GoofsOlaf is home for Christmas in Wisconsin, but in just about every outdoor scene, there is green grass and leaves on all the trees, something you'd never see in Wisconsin in December. Wrongfully considered a mistake: Actually Anya explains how they moved to warmer climate to avoid the harsh Wisconsin winters.
- Quotes
Abby Mancuso: Oh my God, you two... are totally gay.
Olaf 'Gunn' Gunnunderson: Erm...
Abby Mancuso: Bitch! Why didn't you tell me?
Olaf 'Gunn' Gunnunderson: That's because I haven't told anybody here.
Abby Mancuso: Yeah... I got that.
Olaf 'Gunn' Gunnunderson: Did you just called me "bitch"?

Featured review
I knew upon viewing the film's trailer it would be a worthwhile watch. Fortunately, the film stayed true to my expectations and even exceeded them.
It's a straightforward story in some respects as a young gay couple struggles to come to terms with one partner not yet out to family. But that aside, it's a story well told and with plenty of humor along the way.
The lead characters are strong and well-rounded and the script flows nicely too. Gunn's mother is a scene stealer on many occasions. Her wicked laugh and affection makes for plenty of interesting scenes.
Make the Yuletide Gay is not pretending to be some deep exploration of any particular issue, but instead a funny examination of the struggles some couples must face when coming out to family. It's humorous yet delicate and touching when needed.
The jokes are mostly sharp and effective. A few of the gay jokes feel a little forced at times, almost obligatory, but this is picking for holes and easily forgiven.
This film is a celebration. A celebration of Christmas and being with family while a celebration of love and being true to yourself.
The film is frothy and fluffy but that is what gives it charm and makes for a fun journey.
