The Holiday Junkie

Synopsis:

Andie runs a Christmas decoration business that she hopes to take to the next level. She has now landed a major assignment with an investment brokers family to decorate their villa and plan their Christmas activities. The family is going away on a short trip, and Andie arrives to decorate before they return. However, upon arrival, she discovers that the house is not empty-there is also a handyman, Mason, on-site, taking care of the property. Now, Andie must prepare everything while Mason carries out repairs. Mason has a grumpy attitude towards Christmas, making the task even more challenging, all while they both struggle with personal issues of their own.

Quick Thoughts:

I’ll start off nothing that the main story in this holiday romcom is not queer. Our lesbian character is one of the minor characters that works with Andie – and is barely seen. In fact, other than a few remarks, you wouldn’t know that she’s a lesbian. As for the main romantic storyline, it is rather cute. Even though it’s full of many Christmas film tropes, it’s brought together in a way that simply makes you feel good at the end. So have a watch, but if you’re after a true queer holiday film, perhaps watch something else.
