about the film: "I think we've wished to see a gay Christmas rom-com my whole life. I'm so happy and proud of Clea [DuVall, director] for bringing this into the world."

She added: "I love when a holiday movie makes you long for an idea of home, but also examines how hilarious and hard reality at home can be sometimes."
