This is a holiday romance story from the Paramount Network that has some common plot elements with Hallmark and Lifetime holiday movies, so there is crossover appeal for viewers of those networks. Hallmark and Lifetime are focused on women, so a young female is always the main character in their formulaic films and a young man is her love interest. In this film there is a male who is the main character and another male is his love interest.
The script for Dashing in December is above average and the characters talk about real things. In this movie the leads are two males Peter Porte and Juan Pablo Di Pace, they both graduated from drama schools so they know how to act and there is chemistry between them. It has all the usual Hallmark elements such as being very Christmasy, gingerbread, hot cider, hot cocoa and holiday traditions and maintains the cardinal rule that lead characters kiss, but are never seen in bed together. The supporting actors Andie MacDowell and Caroline Harris are excellent. And the music throughout is wonderful.
I hope the Paramount Network gives us more films with gay couples in the near future.
