"The Happiest Season" has a very typical X-shaped relationship between characters. It can be made into a cliche, but happy family movie, misunderstanding each other, and everyone is happy in the end. for example:
Harper invited Abby back to his home for Christmas, intending to officially come out to his family. But in order to help his father win the sponsorship of the sponsor, he can only temporarily pretend that Abby is his roommate. Although Harper promised that he would come out during Christmas, but only had to wait for the most suitable time, the rebellious Abby did not believe it at all, and was vaguely dissatisfied, and decided to help Harper out of the closet in his own way.
Back home, Harper insisted on concealing from his family, pretending that Abby was his "orphan roommate", and Abby crazily hinted at the edge of coming out, making gay jokes with colors, showing the rainbow sign inadvertently, and taking advantage of it. Come to the toilet and so on (Harper has to quickly tidy up his clothes for fear of hickeys). Seeing Harper being angry and unable to attack, and can't help secretly doing shameful things with Abby in private, I feel that Harper is cute and embarrassed. Especially at the banquet, Abby saw Harper interacting with ex-boyfriend Connor happily, and ex-girlfriend Riley also flirted with each other, and became even more uncomfortable, so the hint was more obvious, and the provocation was more seductive. Harper didn't dare to attack, so he could only stare at her secretly.
However, Abby discovered that during this Christmas period, Harper and his ex-boyfriend Connor were very close. They always made appointments and called for a long time without letting Abby know. Especially the free interaction in front of Harper's parents, and the joke of "Renewing the Frontier" made by Harper's parents is also uncomfortable. Abby suddenly became jealous and felt that Harper had left him in the cold. Harper said why Abby was so suspicious and so unreasonable. The two broke out in a fierce quarrel. Abby said angrily not to participate in Harper’s party anymore, Harper said that you would do whatever you want. .
Abby wandered boringly on the street, and accidentally ran into Riley, who had previously met Harper at the banquet, and Riley was Harper’s ex-girlfriend on campus. Riley invites Abby to have a drink at the gay bar. Abby confided to Riley that Harper didn't dare to face his own hard work and his disappointment. Riley told Abby about the affairs of the Harper campus. It turns out that Harper and Riley fell in love in high school, but when signs of love were discovered, Harper insisted that Riley entangled her to seduce her, and Riley suffered campus bullying and depression. Harper has always been a top student, fell in love with the school grass Connor, became a celebrity couple, and entered the university smoothly.
Although Riley was killed so miserably, Riley said that Harper has always shouldered heavy family responsibilities, and he has to avoid it. She has understood and forgiven him over the years. This time Harper chose to take Abby home, he must have made up his mind that he will not make the mistake of hurting his lover when he was young. I hope Abby will have confidence in Harper and wait for her confession. Abby was discouraged and couldn’t listen to Riley’s persuasion at all. He only felt that Harper was playing tricks on himself and was likely to hurt her again—just like he did to Riley—because she and Connor went along. So close.
Perhaps in order to escape the depression of Harper's family, Abby was attracted by enthusiastic Riley and actively came to play with her. The interaction between the two people became closer and closer, which of course made Harper aware of the clues. Harper asked Abby why he always went to Riley, and Abby asked, why Harper and Connor can interact without hesitation, and he is not allowed to have some freedom... The relationship between the two seems to have reached a freezing point...
The last two awkward people misunderstood each other and did not want to meet. So in my eyes, Connor and Riley, who were anxious in their hearts, met first, only to realize that they both prepared Christmas surprises for each other. It was just for the surprise that they kept not telling each other, which caused a misunderstanding. —— Soon after Harper and Connor were together, Harper confessed his sexual orientation to Connor. Connor expressed his understanding, and the two broke up amicably and became good friends. When he came back this time, Harper hoped that Connor would assist herself and explained to her parents that she had to choose the most suitable time to come out, keeping the secret that she wanted to give Abby the biggest surprise. Connor did a great job, successfully pacifying Harper's parents and family, and also used his own ability to get the sponsor's sponsorship.
—— Riley and Abby have no affair either. Abby is very good and is another assist. Even if she has suffered a lot, she still tells Abby how worthy Harper is. They decided to give Harper a "white elephant gift", encourage Harper to come out and bless her-as an ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend.
Connor and Riley combined, Connor persuaded Harper, Riley persuaded Abby, they both said that the other party had apologized, but I was embarrassed to say so directly, so I asked them to send a message, I hope they can meet at the Christmas party. Harper and Abby agreed on their own face.
The finale, of course, is a well-prepared surprise. Harper tells his parents his sexual orientation and what Abby means to him. The understanding of his parents and family moved Harper even more. Abby and Riley also took out their carefully selected gifts these days and gave them to Harper-telling Harper that the ex-girlfriend understood and forgave her original choice, and Riley also had her own long-term partner. The current girlfriend loves her and is willing to enter into marriage with her-Harper was so moved that he cried and embraced his parents and sisters. Hugged his ex-boyfriend Connor and thanked him for his support. Hugged his ex-girlfriend Riley, apologized to her and blessed her. Abby was crying too, and finally Harper looked at Abby and said a confession affectionately, and the two kissed.
