UPDATE: The beloved Christmas film The Holiday, featuring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, will air for free this weekend on BBC Two. Tune in on Sunday, December 12, at 8:30 PM to enjoy this heartwarming classic that has captured audiences since its release in 2006.
With the festive season fast approaching, this is the perfect opportunity to cozy up at home and indulge in a feel-good movie. The Holiday tells the enchanting story of two women from opposite sides of the world—Iris (played by Winslet), a journalist from England, and Amanda (played by Diaz), a film trailer producer from the USA—who swap homes in a bid to escape their romantic troubles during Christmas.
As Christmas draws near, viewers can relive the emotional journey of Iris, heartbroken after her colleague Jasper announces his engagement at a holiday party. Meanwhile, Amanda grapples with her own heartbreak after discovering her husband’s infidelity. Their lives take a dramatic turn when they decide to participate in a home exchange program, leading to unexpected love stories with Jude Law and Jack Black.
This airing on BBC is especially significant as it allows fans to watch the film without the added costs of streaming subscriptions. For those who miss the live broadcast, The Holiday will also be available for streaming on BBC iPlayer throughout December, making it accessible for holiday binge-watching.
Don’t miss this chance to enjoy one of the most iconic Christmas films that continues to resonate with audiences nearly two decades after its premiere. Grab your favorite snacks, gather the family, and make it a festive movie night.
