The Hallmark franchise is working hard towards creating more diverse and inclusive stories to tell during their annual “Countdown to Christmas” holiday movie marathon.
For example, one of their new movies The Christmas House will feature a storyline with a same-sex married couple. We will meet characters Brandon, played by Jonathan Bennett, and his husband Jake, played by Brad Harder, and watch the rollercoaster of emotions that come with their efforts towards adopting their first child.
In the film, Brandon’s parents decide to reunite the whole family for the holiday season in hopes of creating a memorable time together. We will also get to know Brandon’s brother Mike, who begins to reconnect with his high school sweetheart, Andi, during his visit home.
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW!!! Inclusivity & Love! Sooo happy for you Jonathan & Robert! It will be FANTASTIC!!! ♥️🙌🏻🥰 #HallmarkChannel
