Synopsis:
A Christmas lover, Leah has admired the holiday from afar because she’s Jewish. Though her family celebrates Hanukkah, Leah has longed to experience a traditional Christmas. When her boyfriend Graham invites her to spend the holidays with his classic Connecticut family, she eagerly accepts. Excited to dive into the quintessential Christmas she’s always dreamed of, Leah quickly discovers that fitting in with Graham’s uptight family and his not-so-welcoming mom is easier said than done. As holiday traditions clash and awkward moments pile up, it is not quite the cozy Christmas that she expected
Quick Thoughts:
Overall, I did not mind “Leah’s Perfect Gift”. I actually enjoyed the juxtoposition between the Christmas traditions and the Chanukah traditions. However, this is not really a queer holiday film. Yes, the sister is a lesbian so it still deserves noting. However, there is little reason for this inclusion within the story other than to be able to say “here’s some diversity”. I’d encourage you to watch other actual queer Hallmark holiday films. But if you want something different, this isn’t a bad choice.
