You NEED To See Kristen Stewart & Dan Levy In This 'Happiest Season' Trailer

Hulu is going to make the yuletide gay this year with its star-studded new holiday flick. Happiest Season, helmed by Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Dan Levy, and a ton of other big names in the cast, will set itself apart from so many other Christmas rom-coms by focusing specifically on LGBTQ+ relationships during the holiday season. Here's when you can watch Happiest Season on Hulu this year, along with a bunch of other exciting details about the upcoming movie.

Happiest Season was first announced back in 2018, with Stewart as the first cast member brought on board to helm the holiday rom-com. The film was originally set to premiere in theaters during the 2020 holiday season, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, Hulu acquired the distribution rights and will now premiere the movie via streaming rather than on the big screen.

While romantic comedies set during the holidays are nothing new, Happiest Season stands apart from the thousands of other Christmas romances by side-stepping the genre's usual heteronormativity. Recently, both Hallmark and Lifetime have come under fire for the networks' lack of LGBTQ+ representation in their annual lineup of original holiday movies. The criticism led to Lifetime greenlighting its first Christmas movie centered on a gay romance, which will premiere later in 2020.

Here's everything we know about Happiest Season so far:
