When is The Holiday on TV this Christmas? How to watch and stream online
The classic romcom starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz is back on our screens for Christmas (of course) – but where can we find it on the schedules?
The Holiday is, this author would argue, probably the best Christmas rom-com – certainly a contender for the top spot.
Bridget Jones can keep her Diary, and Richard Curtis’s Love Actually can sit back down – The Holiday surpasses its rivals purely because it’s the only romantic comedy ever in existence that cast Jack Black as a male lead – a move we fully support!
Yes, it may be a very sugary-sweet movie, but it still manages to warm our hearts with the festive feels and i remains a go-to every year.
But where are you able to watch this modern Christmas classic? Here’s all you need to know.

Soon enough, both lovelorn ladies bump into local lads perfect for a romantic pick-me-up."
