Dear John --

The holiday season is all about family — whether it’s the one you’re born into or the one you choose, which is why the It Gets Better Project partnered with Netflix for a conversation about chosen family. 

Liv Hewson, star of the new holiday film “Let It Snow," sat down with friends of the It Gets Better Project for an afternoon of cookie decorating and an honest and open talk about besties, gender, open communication, and what makes a chosen family.

We can promise some laughs — and we can promise some tears — as this special It Gets Better holiday video gets to the heart of what everyone is looking for: acceptance and love. And as Liv says, “You are deserving of that connection and that support, and even if you don’t have it right now, it’s waiting for you.”

Enjoy the video and check out “Let It Snow,” streaming now on Netflix.

Happy holidays.
