Luke Macfarlane goes straight-for-pay (again), and all the gayest holiday movies on Hallmark this year
The Grinch Candace Cameron Bure fled the network for the more “traditional” values at Great American Family?Known for churning out sweet and saccharine holiday movies every season, Hallmark has a whopping 40 original festive stories on its slate this year—and more than a few of them sound pretty gay!While Miss Cameron Bure may not want to touch them with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole, we figure you’d like to know what films are coming down the chimney in the weeks ahead, including some of our favorite LGBTQ+ talent like Luke Macfarlane, Jonathan Bennett, Vincent Rodriguez III, and Humberly González.So, grab a blanket, get that cocoa piping hot, and get ready to cozy up to three of the most exciting LGBTQ+ inclusive movies headed to The Hallmark Channel in 2023.Okay, so… bad news first.
No, there doesn’t appear to be anything gay about the story of Catch Me If You Claus. However, it does happen to feature out Bros star Luke Macfarlane as a man who just might be the son of Santa Claus, and there’s something very hot about that, no?
At least, the sight of Macfarlane in a tight-fitting henley and red suspenders sure gets our chestnuts roasting! Plus, the movie’s premise—a woman (Supergirl‘s Italia Ricci) catches a home intruder who claims to be Santa, Jr.—is slightly more high-concept than your average Hallmark rom-com, and that’s enough to get us invested.So, yeah, MacFarlane’s going straight-for-pay for Hallmark again.
But when has Santa ever looked this good? Somebody’s been lifting weights up at the North Pole!A post shared by Luke Macfarlane (@ten_minutes_younger)Catch Me If You Claus premieres Thursday, November 23 on Hallmark.The sexy Santa Claus is a Christmas tradition as old as the holiday itself!Giving Macfarlane a run for his money in the made-for-TV Christmas department is former Mean Girls nice guy Jonathan Bennett, who starred in the network’s first gay-focused movie last season.
