Happiest Season review: Plot

The story is about a lesbian couple, Abby and Harper, who plans to visit Harper’s family on Christmas for the first time together. Abby is elated that she would be meeting the family of the “most important person in her life” and plans to propose to her on this trip. However, on their way to Harper’s family, she reveals to Abby that she has not come out to her family yet.

As the film progresses, Abby, who is a bad liar, is seen getting frustrated hiding the truth about her relationship. Whereas Harper is constantly worried about her family figuring out the truth. The essence of the film is that everyone has their own journey in life and how they deal with things.

The film also shows how Abby is hurting seeing her partner deny their relationship in front of her family. During the holidays, they end up fighting and hurting each other. Will Abby understand Harper’s feelings and will Harper be able to come out to her conservative family?
