Single All the Way follows a perpetually single man who convinces his friend to pretend to be his boyfriend for the holidays.not knowing his meddling mom already has plans to set him up on a blind date with someone else. In 2020, both the Hallmark Channel and Lifetime released their first-ever LGBT holiday movies ( The Christmas House and The Christmas Setup, respectively), and in 2021, Netflix's Christmas selection includes the platform's very first gay Christmas movie, Single All the Way, which drops in December. (Yes, I'm giving you the side-eye, Happiest Season.) And even when they do, the storylines often revolve around closeted characters struggling to open up to their families, and the result is.kind of a bummer. So few Christmas films feature characters who openly identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or queer. But sadly, the seasonal movie industry still has a LOT of work to do when it comes to accurate representation. Even if you relate harder to the Grinch than Buddy the Elf, there's no denying the magic of a mushy gushy holiday rom-com (because let's be real: At least 96 percent of Christmas movies are cheesy AF, no?).
