The Christmas House was the first Hallmark Channel film to focus on an LGBTQ+ couple — a major step for the holiday network. In the movie, Bill and Phylis invite their two sons for one last holiday in their childhood home, however Bill and Phylis haven't told their sons they plan on selling the house. But, they aren't the only ones hiding secrets. One of their sons, Mike, is an actor who's going to be unemployed because his current TV show hasn't been renewed. Meanwhile the other son, Brandon, along with his husband, Jake, have been attempting to adopt a child, but have been unsuccessful. Of course, everything comes to a boil, and what better time for this to happen than during the holidays!
