There's no doubt that Happiest Season is making the yuletide gay!
It seems like everyone's talking about Hulu's latest lesbian Christmas rom-com, and for good reason! Like taking a sip from a hot cup of cocoa, it's a stunning, heartwarming, feel-good film that is sure to get your queer feels in a flurry.
Just ahead of the movie's premiere, PRIDE virtually sat down with stars Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Clea DuVall, Dan Levy, Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, Mary Steenburgen, and Mary Holland to discuss the film, girl crushes, memes, and the power a heartwarming LGBTQ+ rom-com can have on viewers.
With the two platonically lesbianing all over each in Happiest Season, fans dug up a 2013 tweet where star Aubrey Plaza declared her love for Stewart. And even though their characters don't end up together, it hasn't stopped viewers from shipping Abby and Riley together.
So did Plaza cast a spell for this movie to happen? PRIDE took the direct approach and asked her.
"Ohmygod," Plaza starts. "Why did I say this?"
"There was a time in my life that it would get late, I'd turn the all caps on and I would just go for it," the 36-year-old reflects. "I don't know what state of mind I was in when I wrote that but I must've seen her in some movie and been obsessed with her."
"Look, I'm not ashamed to say I've always had a thing for her," she smiles. "Now it's on-screen forever."
Stewart laughed at the revelation. "Can you please read me that tweet," she laughs, trying to recall why Plaza might've tweeted that so long ago. "Me and Aubrey met one time years ago...I always really liked her too, you know. The feeling's mutual."
Happiest Season is streaming on Hulu now! Watch PRIDE's full interview with the cast and director below.
