Merry Christmas! This is the season of happiness, joy, presents, decorations,… and my personal favorite: Queer Holiday Films!
This year, I’m trying something a bit unique – without driving myself crazy. (Ok… it’s a bit too late for that, but that’s what happens when you throw something fun like this together at the last minute.)
We’re doing the “12 Gays of Christmas”!
Following the concept of an advent calendar, every day from December 13th all the way up to Christmas Eve, I will highlight a queer holiday film review AND share a special offer of the day.
Oh – and woven in amid the queer film reviews of my favorite holiday films are BRAND NEW queer holiday film reviews for this year!
The Queer Holiday Film Review and the Offer of the Day will be released each day at 12:00 AM NZST.
But be quick – the offers are only valid for ONE DAY! Every offer expires at 11:59 PM PST that same day.
(Keen eyes will note that the offer starts in NZST but expires in PST… that’s technically more than a day, but want to give everyone world-wide the chance to grab the daily offers!)
So remember to check back every day to discover which queer holiday film is featured – and to learn about that day’s offer!
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. A purchase or paid subscription does not increase your chances of winning.
Certain days in the “12 Gays of Christmas” campaign include a comment-based contest (each, a “Daily Comment Contest”). These Official Rules apply only to those specific days that mention a chance to “comment to win” a 1-month streaming subscription.
Days that feature coupons, discounts, or other non-contest gifts are not part of these Comment Contests and are not governed by these Rules.

Void where prohibited by law. Entrants are responsible for ensuring they are eligible to create an account with the featured streaming platform (including any age, residency, and payment-method requirements imposed by that platform).
3. Participating Days & Promotion Periods
Each Daily Comment Contest has its own Entry Period, as specified in the Daily Comment Contest Schedule above.
Only comments submitted during the listed Entry Period for that specific day are eligible for that day’s contest.
Sponsor’s (or its web host’s) clock will be the official timekeeping mechanism for the promotion.
4. How to Enter

No purchase or payment is required to enter or win. Simply commenting as described above is a free method of entry.
5. Judging & Winner Selection
Each Daily Comment Contest is a contest of skill, not a random drawing.
Within approximately 3 days after the end of each Entry Period, Sponsor will review all eligible comments for that day and select one (1) winner whose comment best meets the following criteria:
- Relevance to the featured film or the review of the featured film,
- Thoughtfulness and/or creativity, and
- Overall clarity and enthusiasm.
Judging will be carried out by Sponsor (and/or its designees) in its sole discretion. All decisions are final and binding.
Odds of winning depend on the number and quality of eligible comments received for that Daily Comment Contest.
6. Prizes
For each Daily Comment Contest, the Prize is described in the Daily Comment Contest Schedule above (for example: one (1) month subscription to WOW Presents Plus / Tello Films / Lesflicks / Dekkoo, as applicable),along with the ARV and number of winners.
Prizes will typically be fulfilled in the form of:
- A promo code, gift subscription, or account credit provided by the streaming platform, or
- A direct purchase of a 1-month subscription on the winner’s behalf, as determined by Sponsor.
No substitution, cash equivalent, or transfer of any Prize is permitted, except that Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the advertised Prize becomes unavailable.
The relevant streaming platforms (WOW Presents Plus, Tello Films, Lesflicks, Dekkoo) are not sponsors of and are not responsible for these Daily Comment Contests.
7. Winner Notification
The potential winner for each Daily Comment Contest will be notified within approximately 3 days after the Entry Period ends, using one or more of the following methods:
- A reply to their winning comment on the review post; and/or
- An email to the address associated with their comment, if available; and/or
- Other reasonable contact method specified in the post.
The potential winner may be required to confirm eligibility, provide any information necessary to deliver the Prize (such as a valid email address), and formally accept the Prize within 3 days of notification.
If a potential winner:
- Cannot be contacted,
- Fails to respond in time,
- Is found to be ineligible, or
- Declines the Prize,
Sponsor may, at its discretion, select an alternate winner using the same judging criteria, or choose not to award the Prize.
8. Taxes and Ongoing Subscription Charges
To the extent applicable, the winner is responsible for any and all taxes, fees, and other costs associated with acceptance and use of the Prize. Sponsor does not provide tax advice; entrants should consult their own tax advisors if they have questions.
Each Prize consists of access to a single 1-month subscription period with the applicable streaming platform. The gifted subscription will not automatically renew at the end of that period unless the winner chooses to provide their own payment information and continue the subscription directly with the platform.
If a winner decides to continue their membership after the gifted 1-month period ends, they are fully responsible for all ongoing subscription charges and fees. Sponsor is not responsible or liable for any charges, renewals, or account issues that arise from the winner’s separate subscription or billing relationship with the streaming platform.
