Make the Yuletide Gay is a sweet and frothy confection that will put audiences in the holiday spirit, even in the middle of May.
Nathan Stanford (Adamo Ruggiero from Degrassi: The Next Generation) and Olaf `Gunnī Gunnunderson (Keith Jordan) are out-and-proud college boyfriends whose campus life consists of flirting with their professors, dishing with their friends and making out in their dorm room.
As classes break for the Christmas holidays, the boys head in separate directions to spend the holidays with their families. But when Nathanīs parents abandon their son for a holiday in the Holy Land, Nathan decides to surprise his boyfriend and he shows up on the Gunnunderson familyīs Wisconsin doorstep.
Gunnīs Fargo-esque mom and dad are polar opposites of Nathanīs cold and distant parents. Gunnīs father is a pot-smoking university professor and his mother is a terminally giddy serial baker. Gunnīs parents welcome his"friend" with open arms and plates laden with cookies. It quickly becomes apparent to Nathan, however, that there is one major problem with this Christmas card-perfect picture-Gunn has never come out to his family.
As Nathan urges his boyfriend to break open the closet door, Gunnīs mother busily tries to reunite her son with his high school sweetheart, Abby. Gunn is left in the middle, terrified of losing his family if he reveals his secret and afraid of losing Nathan if he doesnīt. With a supporting cast that includes Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation) and The Bold and the Beautifulīs Ian Buchanan and Alison Arngrim (Nellie Olsen from Little House on the Prairie), Make the Yuletide Gayis one Christmas present worth opening early.
