This year, we decided to start off December with an episode all about one of our favorite Rom-coms. This mid-2000s gem is a Christmas movie that we don’t mind watching any time of year! It’s a wonderfully cheerful film about finding love in an unexpected place. We’re talking about the 2006 Nancy Meyers film, The Holiday!
This film is the Christmas rom-com that most Hallmark movies wish they were. It plays on romantic tropes in a delightful way, with enough audience-pleasing predictability to make it a relaxing film to watch. Although it focuses on two couples meeting and falling in love, the movie takes its time letting the stories play out. This film isn’t just about people “getting together,” it’s a story about moving on from unhealthy relationships and finding out who you are.
So, let’s head to LA…or Surrey…and fall in love with The Holiday.
