Nancy Meyers Reflects on 'The Holiday' and Its Unexpected Christmas Legacy

The director reveals she never intended the 2006 rom-com to become a holiday classic but acknowledges its enduring seasonal appeal.

Nancy Meyers recently shared on the Hollywood Gold podcast that she never considered 'The Holiday' a Christmas movie during its creation.
The film's story, centered on two women swapping homes to escape heartbreak, was set at Christmas to explore themes of loneliness and personal growth.
Meyers expressed surprise upon rewatching the movie, noting the significant presence of Christmas elements in the film.
Despite her intentions, 'The Holiday' has become a beloved seasonal tradition for many fans, often revisited each December.
Cast members, including Jude Law, have teased the possibility of a sequel, though no plans have been confirmed.
