Despite progress being made in many other areas of media visibility, lesbians, bisexuals and queers aren’t exactly thriving in the Christmas movie department — but we’ve certainly got enough Christmas movie heroines to really sit down and figure out our true holiday hearts by matching ourselves to a fictional character through a series of seemingly random but intentionally crafted questions. (And stay tuned for the updated Lesbian+ Christmas movies list coming out later this week!)

I got Abby and my partner got Riley so I can say with 100% certainty that this quiz is accurate. Kthanksbyeeee
excellent news thank u
The quiz won’t give me a result without answering the tiebreaker question. And I don’t know who all those characters are. This quiz is a big fat fail.
ok
I got Abby from Happiest Season, which tracks because I also got Abby in the Happiest Season quiz from 3 years ago, and also in real life I am Abby from the Happiest Season which I bet you never knew.
what’s important is that i do know that now
Alma – don’t know who that is but I hope it’s good!
it’s very good yes
Hmm, I got Carol. Don’t know if that’s good or bad since I haven’t seen it, yet. A little before my time.
I got Dorrie from Let it Snow, which I have never seen but now obviously have to. I was sad though that my favorite (and arguably the best) straight Christmas movie The Holiday was not a choice.
We might be the same person. I had the same thought about the holiday and got dorrie as well (and haven’t seen it before).
Abby. Which was cool bc I choose Riley. So basically I wish I was cooler but at least i’m kirsten Stewart?
