Another popular tradition many folks have is, of course, watching holiday movies.
FromElftoThe NutcrackertoDie HardtoHallmark holiday movies, there’s no shortage of films to choose from.
That’s certainly the case withHappiest Season, the Hulu film that has everyone buzzing.
It’s about time we got the queer Christmas movie we’ve all been waiting for!
Here are the major films and shows that actress Mackenzie Davis has starred in over the years.
She was cast by director Drake Doremus, who obviously saw something special in her.
“He gave me my first job,” she explained toUnder the Radar.
Hey, you gotta start somewhere!
“We just made out the second we met,” she revealed in an interview withCollider.
TheHappiest Seasonactress wasn’t too intimidated by the whole thing, either, as other actors might have been.
“I think it’s fun,” she continued.
“You know, Chelsea really isn’t that awkward,” Davis shared in a chat withRefinery29.
“I think I’m much more awkward and uncomfortable in my own life than she is.”
“It didn’t have the pressure of being this crazy multimillion dollar movie,” she continued.
“Instead it was very pleasant and lovely and funny.”
“But, we all discovered it together.
I’m so glad we did that.”

However, before the ragtag trio can save anything or anyone, Davis' character goesthroughit.
It was also critically lauded and popular among moviegoers, as noted byRotten Tomatoes.

With Davis as Anna and Caitlyn FitzGerald as Beth, the film explores how societal pressure impacts women.

And for Yorkie, this is a transcendent reality.
“It’s so beautiful.”
And, of course, it made Davis a “lesbian thirst icon,” according toVulture.
“We’re not expected to judge her,” she toldSalon.
“[We’re] hoping people want to figure out why she is the way she is.”
“It’s ownership and not just handing [yourself] over to people.”
“Everybody was so lovely,” she gushed in a chat withGood Morning America.
“It was just the level of expertise that was being dealt with on that set.”
Fortunately, Davis hit her stride inBlade Runner 2049, giving a great performance as Mariette.
Still, the production value of the film was a first for her.
“I’d never been on such an immersive set before,” she continued.
“So it was so beautiful.”
“But then the mother and the nurse start hanging out at night.
I’m the nurse, and the movie is about that relationship.”
“I just think that’s so cool,” she revealed in an interview withVulture.
She added that she’s totally honored to be a part of the moment.
(Confused about how the film concluded?
You’re not alone.

And that’s definitely the exception, according to Davis.
“So it was an easy decision for me.”
