Vibe:
“Happiest Season” (2020) is like all of my favorite holiday treats: Mostly sweet, sometimes stomach churning, and made without a cookie cutter.
Best time to watch:
When you’re looking to turn off your brain but not too much, in the mood for a rom-com sans the normal amount

Directing and writing credits:
This is the first episode in the series not written by ASP. Credit goes to Joanne T. Waters, and it is the only episode of "GG" she is credited with writing. In fact, she has written exactly three episodes of television: This episode of
