Although Christmas is camp as tits, holiday films have been surprisingly slow to embrace queerness. No more!

In recent years, the yuletide has been delightfully queerified, with networks and streaming services putting LGBTQIA+ stories front and center in Mariah Carey’s annual holiday season — from Netflix’s Single All The Way to Lifetime’s The Holiday Sitter and Hulu’s Happiest Season, the latter making history as the first gay Christmas film released by a major studio.

If you’re tired of watching Will Ferrell parade around as an eccentric elf-human or Catherine O’Hara play a negligent parent, it’s time to check out some of these recent LGBTQIA+ films that are well on their way to becoming Christmas classics.

Boasting an all-star cast of Drag Race alum — including Brooke Lynn Hytes, Chad Michaels, Ginger Minj, Kylie Sonique Love, Manila Luzon, and Peppermint — The Bitch Who Stole Christmas follows fashion journalist Krysta Rodriguez, who is sent on assignment to a Christmas-obsessed town by her ruthless editor, RuPaul. Intent on digging up a juicy story, she unexpectedly gets swept up in the town’s annual winter ball competition. Of course, the festivities come with a dark side: cutthroat housewives and ruthless townsfolk scheming to ruin the holiday season. Slay! (Or should we say… sleigh?) The feel-good comedy also features appearances from Michelle Visage, Ross Matthews, Carson Kressley, Kim Petras, Charo, and Anna Maria Horsford.
