The Holiday 2 (2025) is the long-awaited sequel to the beloved romantic comedy that captured hearts around the world. Set nearly two decades after the original, the film revisits Iris, Amanda, Graham, and Miles as they navigate new chapters in their livesโonce again discovering the power of love, family, and second chances during the holiday season.
The story begins with Iris (Kate Winslet) living happily in the English countryside with Miles (Jack Black) and their children. Meanwhile, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Graham (Jude Law) are balancing their busy careers in Los Angeles while raising teenagers. Though life seems comfortable, both couples feel that something is missingโa sense of adventure, connection, and the holiday magic that once brought them together.
When a chance opportunity arises, Iris and Amanda decide to swap homes again for Christmasโthis time bringing their families along. The familiar exchange reignites old feelings and introduces new relationships, as their children form unexpected bonds and everyone learns something new about love and family.
In the charming villages of England and the sunny streets of California, laughter, romance, and heartfelt moments unfold. Amanda begins to rediscover the warmth of simple living, while Iris finds herself inspired to take bold new steps in her career and personal life. Both women realize that true happiness often comes from embracing change and staying open to the unexpected.
By the filmโs end, the characters come together for a joyful Christmas celebration that reminds them of how far theyโve come. The Holiday 2 (2025) captures the same cozy magic of the originalโblending humor, emotion, and beautiful scenery into a story about love that endures across time, distance, and every holiday season.
