As someone who has spent countless winter evenings curled up with a mug of hot cocoa and my favorite holiday films, I can confidently say that The Holiday is a must-watch during the festive season. From its charming storyline to its delightful soundtrack, this 2006 rom-com written, produced, and directed by Nancy Meyers has become a timeless classic for me.
When compiling their holiday movie lists for Christmas, certain classic festive films consistently find their place – such as It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf, The Muppet Christmas Carol, and Love Actually.
A popular choice for many moviegoers is the 2006 romantic comedy “The Holiday,” penned, produced, and helmed by Nancy Meyers.
The movie spotlights four prominent actors – Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, and Jack Black. It tells the story of two unattached individuals who embark on a holiday home exchange, with Iris (played by Winslet) heading to Los Angeles and Amanda (Diaz) venturing to Surrey. Naturally, romantic entanglements develop throughout this journey.
Just like many beloved Christmas films, The Holiday features an engaging soundtrack brimming with holiday hits such as Wham’s “Last Christmas” and Kylie’s “Santa Baby”.
