Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis bring holiday cheer in the first trailer for the lesbian Christmas rom-com “Happiest Season.”
“Happiest Season” follows Abby (Stewart), who plans on proposing to Harper (Davis) at Harper’s family holiday party. But things change when Abby discovers that her girlfriend has yet to come out to her conservative family.
“I am scared that if I tell them who I really am, I will lose them,” Harper says tearfully in the trailer. “I am not hiding you, I am hiding me.”
“Everybody’s story is different. Just because Harper isn’t ready, doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you,” Dan Levy’s character John later says when he comes to “rescue” his friend Abby, who the family thinks is Harper’s orphan friend.
The movie was penned by the writing team of Clea DuVall and Mary Holland. The pic marks DuVall’s directorial debut on a major studio feature.

Mackenzie Davis is in negotiations to play the lead opposite Kristen Stewart in TriStar’s romantic comedy “Happiest Season.”
The studio bought worldwide rights last to the holiday-themed “Happiest Season” from the writing team of Clea DuVall and Mary Holland. DuVall, who directed the 2016 indie “The Intervention,” is also on board to direct in what will be her directorial debut on a major studio feature. Marty Bowen and Isaac Klausner will produce with Jaclyn Huntling overseeing for Temple Hill.
“Happiest Season” centers on a young woman whose plan to propose to her girlfriend while at her family’s annual holiday party is upended when she discovers her partner has not yet come out to her conservative parents. Sony had no comment on Davis’s casting. Variety reported exclusively that Stewart had come on to the project last year.
Davis starred as the night nanny and title character in last year’s “Tully” opposite Charlize Theron.
