The slay bells are ringing

which was the Hallmark Channel’s first film to prominently feature a gay couple.Urie plays Peter, a Los Angeles social media manager returning to his New Hampshire hometown for the holidays with best friend and roommate Nick in tow, pretending to be his partner to avoid family judgement over his singledom. However, their plan quickly falls apart as Peter’s mother has arranged a blind date for her son with a local gym hunk .and his own festive traditions.

There aren’t very many queer films at this point that show queer joy. This movie does that. It’s about a gay man whose family loves him so much they will do anything to find the man of his dreams. That’s where the conflict is. The conflict isn’t coming out of the closet or navigating around potentially homophobic family members. The conflict is his family is meddling in his love life and they love it. It’s a very universal, relatable thing for people to watch.

I believe you shot this in April? What was the on-set experience of getting in the festive spirit halfway through the year? By the way, it says in the script,"enter Aunt Sandy," and in parenthesis,"think Jennifer Coolidge," so Chad has always thought of her. She always surprises you and that’s why, I think, we love divas, drag and these queer icons from Judy Garland on. We know they are going to deliver and give us what we want, but we never know quite what they’re going to do. That’s J-Cool in a nutshell: she constantly surprises me and herself, she was making herself laugh on set.
