Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities.

With llamas on the lawn, cakes at the ready, and secrets around every corner, this star-powered mystery balances charm, humor, and heartache, reminding us that friendship, resilience, and reinvention might just be the ultimate clues.
