Trash

There is no Christmas film more perfect than The Holiday. You can take your Elf, Home Alone and It’s A Wonderful Life and stuff them firmly in your stocking. Nothing will ever beat the heart warming joy, gut wrenching sadness and Christmas spirit you get from watching The Holiday.

Since it was first released in 2006 it has been a staple festive film for a multitude of reasons. Firstly it contains Jude Law at his prime. Secondly it has an incredible cottagecore aesthetic that makes you want to pack your bags and move to deepest Surrey. And most importantly it contains the most wholesome relationship ever – Arthur and Iris. You have to be dead inside to not shed a tear at Iris helping Arthur down the aisle to accept his prize.

It is for those three reasons, amongst many others, why The Holiday is the best Christmas film of all time. Special mention must also go to Cameron Diaz dancing to Mr Brightside in her pyjamas.

To celebrate the most wonderful film, we’ve rounded up 29 memes and tweets that sum up the true love we should all have for The Holiday:

8. LOL

best part of the hit film The Holiday is when kate winslet wants to kill herself until she gets an email and then decides hm better check my email instead

9. I don’t want a prince, I want this

The Holiday gave me such unrealistic expectations for relationships. I’m still waiting for a Jude Law lookalike to knock on my door in the middle of the night and ask to use the lavatory.

17. Honestly, she is superwoman

Finally I’ve watched The Holiday. What I want to know is how did Cameron Diaz run across the fields of Surrey in heels in the snow and not fall over ?!

18. The only flaw of the film

The biggest plot flaw is Cameron Diaz watching Little Britain during The Holiday and then her movie trailer coming on… everyone knows the BBC don’t have adverts/trailers.

20. Now that you mention it…

100th time watching The Holiday and just realised that Jude Law’s constantly shagging Cameron Diaz in his sister’s bed

— Antonia (@antoniaa_thomas) December 6, 2021

21. Yeah that was missing from the emails

Watching The Holiday – where the hell did the dog come from? Cameron Diaz was all ‘Let’s do it, getting on a plane tomorrow’ but not a word about’By the way, you’ll be dog sitting too’

It is impossible for me to not cry every single time that I watch The Holiday. Between the blanket tent scene and when they have the tribute for Arthur…literally it’s my favorite movie. Also I wish I lived in Iris’s house, it’s my dream home pic.twitter.com/ekE6AKUdDz
