Under the Christmas Tree - Wiki Page!
I was absolutely delighted to find that someone (some people?) had taken the time to make a Wikipedia page for our darling film, Under the Christmas Tree. They had some very lovely things to say, including:
In Autostraddle, Heather Hogan called the movie "a very sweet, very low stakes romantic comedy" and described it as subversive for being a straightforward, tropey Christmas romance movie featuring two queer female leads.[7] Brett White, writing for Decider, praised Under the Christmas Tree not just as a quality queer Christmas romantic comedy but a quality Christmas romantic comedy in general.[8] White lauded the performances of Jones, Bauman, and Colantoni, and wrote favorably of Snow's direction, which he called "visually interesting, where camera shots enhance the chemistry between performers".[8] In Slate, Christina Cauterucci described the film as "a delightful addition to the chaste holiday rom-com canon" but found a joke about a strap-on dildo in the film incongruous, calling it "bad, bad writing".[4] Reflecting on the joke, Cauterucci wrote that "Queer love is so mainstream it's corny", describing Alma and Charlie's relationship as "played as a parent-friendly, almost childlike endeavor".[4]
Under the Christmas Tree was nominated at the 33rd GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding TV Movie, ultimately losing to Netflix's gay Christmas movie Single All the Way.[9]
