and it is Lifetime so the acting isn't fantastic across the board
but you cannot tell me that webseries queen + bisexual icon Elise Baumen is not giving her ALL in Under the Christmas Tree and that alone makes it a holiday classic
Marketing whiz Alma Beltran and Christmas tree whisperer Charlie Freemont cross paths when Charlie finds the perfect tree for the Maine Governor's Holiday Celebration — right in Alma's back yard. While they initially spar, romantic sparks soon begin to fly between the two women as the enchanting tree and some Christmas fairy dust from the town's pâtissière extraordinaire bring out the best in them and spark each other to take leaps of faith and fight for love and Christmas magic.
Under The Christmas Tree (2021) || 5/5🌟|| Romance/Comedy || "Romantic sparks fly between Alma and Charlie when Charlie finds the perfect tree for the Maine governor's holiday celebration right in Alma's backyard."
Any Carmilla fans? Elise Bauman who played Laura from Carmilla is one of the leads in this movie!
Ah! I really liked this one!
Alma and Charlie were so cute! Really loved them together.
It's cheesy, it's tropey and it's gay. It's all I ask for with Christmas movies tbh
Guys! I came back from driving my grandma home after Christmas, and my mom was watching a random Christmas movie on tv. And I look, and ITS LESBIAN!! Right there! Randomly! On my tv! A blessing!
AND then I find out that ELISE BAUMAN is playing the lead role!!!!!!!!!
AND THEN I FIND OUT HER CARMILLA-WEBSHOW-DAD IS ALSO PLAYING HER DAD IN THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
I feel like a Christmas miracle happened here tonight!
I just watched Lifetime's Under the Christmas Tree. It is just as stupidly cheesy as any other Lifetime Christmas movie but! There are lesbians! And gay icon Rikki Lake! And Veronica Mars' dad!
More importantly, it is very very very Supercorp-able and I'd love it if someone could fic it for me.
