“The Happiest Season” broke every Hulu record ever of all time in its debut weekend and inspired lively discourse on a number of platforms. It also left so many people wondering WHICH HAPPIEST SEASON CHARACTER AM I???!!! Good news: we just added a personality quiz functionality to our website (seeeee) and this is how I’ve chosen to test it out. Your reward: finding out empirically, once and for all, if you are a Harper or a Riley. I think once you take this Happiest Season Character Quiz you will feel a deep sense of peace and relaxation.

Iāve won the quiz, Iām a Jane (but in a spoiled only child sort of way)!
Ohh I am an Abby.
Can’t say I’m too shocked.
Phew, I am Abby which is good in that it is not Harper.
Ultimately I feel I learned way more about Riese’s personality in this process than my own.
Comment award to Sally xD
I got John, and yep it tracks! I am literalmy checking Autostraddle while taking a break from reading a friend’s fantasy novel draft and giving feedback on it! (Not professionally, but still).
I got Riley, yes!!
I got John, which is great. Happy to play the feminist gay best friend
I’m a Riley! Time to announce this to my local gays. Ready to find myself an Abby!š
I’m Riley!! I am surprised by this, I thought I was a total Abby.
On another note, on the footwear question….those black boots at the top of the list…..does anyone know where I can buy those or ones like them??
The image info says: Harper boot and I think that could be correct.
Target? š¤š
Let it be known that I am an Abby, exactly as I predicted!!
What should we select for question 1 if we do not dream of labor / if we want to be a stay-at-home trophy spouse / homemaker?
Riley (very pleased about this, although probably more because Aubrey Plaza rather than the actual character)
Also very happy Tasha was a crush option :)
I got Jane which is appropriate because I am also extremely autistic and intense and delightful. :)
love to be an orphan roommate š
i am riley and i am coming to steal your girl
0% surprised I got Riley because sheās an Aubrey Plaza character and like Aubrey and a majority of her characters I look mean but am in fact fun.
Not that one canāt be mean in a fun way.
I’ve not seen this movie yet and probably won’t, but I just had to take this quiz to make absolutely sure I was Not Harper. I am John!
I got Jane, which doesnāt really surprise me as Iām appropriately nerdy.
But I think the real question here is, will anyone actually admit it if they get Harper?
I got Riley even though I am not cool or hot. I feel really I am cross between Abby and Jane.
Help I don’t know who half those characters are in the “pick a fictional teenager” question. Which one is the most like Angela in My So-Called Life?
I think Graham is pretty close. But I donāt know Patrick.
Very pleased I got Riley! Though I was expecting (and would have been happy with!) Jane.
I got Riley! I wish I was that cool. *sigh*
I got Harper so if anybody needs me I’ll be walking into the ocean :)
Joining you.
Apparently I’m Jane.
I am an Abby :) looking for my post-christmas-mindset Harper (you?!)
why would harper even be an option!! i was not ready for this blow ..
i got riley when i am clearly a jane, but riese, i forgive you
Where my fellow Janes at? :D
Did no one else get Sloane or am I the only one brave enough to admit to it
I do wish this quiz had a sober drink option though!
Enjoyed this, and hell yeah I’m John! That said, would have loved a non-booze option for the beverage question :)
I got Abby, which makes sense, because some of those relationship dynamics were very triggering for me! Nothing like watching your girlfriend flirt with someone else in front of her parents.
(anyway great quiz, great boot options, I have said too much)
I got Abby and everything makes sense again
I got Riley!!!!!!!! š¦
Not sure about me getting John, but my partner got Riley so Iāll take that as a win.
Not surprised I got Riley.
Whoops, am I the only one who’s a Sloane?
Me too! š
I can confirm that I am indeed, a Riley. And proud of it!
Iām a Riley! Time to announce this to my local gays. Ready to find myself an Abby!š
(accidentally posted this as a reply first, lol)
Had to take this just to make sure I’m not secretly a monster. I’m an Abby. Very grateful to know that I’m not a monster. I just make poor decisions!
I was worried I might get Sloan (Alison Brieās character) because of my untapped desire to build customs gift experiences.
Thankfully I am Abby, a selfless orphan, willing to endure it all for a tall girl. Can someone please teach my gf to take a sexy selfie?
Lol this dragged me. I would definitely say that I used to be an Abby because I was always in relationships with mean people and would constantly try to convince myself that their toxic behavior was normal. I want to say Iām more of Aubrey Plazaās character now.
“You’re Abby, Harper’s orphan roommate!”
Absolutely. Faithfully hanging off of that roof, Baby ! Plus I’m such a rad dresser (in my dreams LOL).
(As a side note because I don’t know where to put this exactly, did anyone else notice that in the “our first gay pride” picture during the end credits, Riley is very cozy with… Clea DuVall ? Like, Clea is Riley’s gf ? Far out ! )
Abby!!
The Best You Need But FREEE.
As i was taking this quiz my heart was racing thiking my life might be headed downhill and i might be considered the dad or something. luckily i got Abby!! I knew taking this quiz would help me out a little, PHEW :D
