(There are hiccups and hijinks, but the couple is kissing again come Christmas.) It is radical, however, in centering those queer people in a still overwhelmingly -laced genre.Which is exactly what director and writer Clea DuVall (who penned the script with actress Mary Holland) set out to do.

(Spoiler alert: Do not read on if you haven’t watched “Happiest Season.”)Despite starring in one of the most popular heterosexual relationships on screen (“Twilight”), openly bisexual actor Kristen Stewart said she felt the need to be a part of the first LGBTQ Christmas rom-com movie released by a major studio, called “Happiest Season.”“Not only is it very, very funny, [but] it feels really lived-in and reflective of something really familiar to me and a lot of people that has not been evident
