🎬 Holidate (2020)

“A rom-com that proves love can be found when you least expect it—even on a holiday!”

Holidate, directed by John Whitesell, is a charming and hilariously relatable romantic comedy that explores the ups and downs of navigating love, loneliness, and family expectations during the holidays. The film stars Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey as two strangers who team up to survive the dreaded “holiday season” as each other’s platonic plus-ones.

Sloane (Emma Roberts) is a commitment-phobic cynic, tired of her family’s constant pressure to find “the one.” Jackson (Luke Bracey) is a carefree bachelor who shares her disdain for the societal demands of coupledom during festive gatherings. The two strike a deal to be each other’s “holidate” for every holiday throughout the year—no strings attached, just mutual fun and zero romance. But as the seasons pass, sparks start to fly, and they begin to wonder if their no-commitment pact can hold up.

Emma Roberts delivers a sharp and witty performance as Sloane, while Luke Bracey charms as the charismatic and slightly goofy Jackson. Together, their chemistry lights up the screen, delivering laugh-out-loud moments and heartfelt connections. The film’s humor is balanced with moments of genuine emotion, making it more than just a typical holiday rom-com.

With its playful take on modern dating and its refreshing blend of humor and heart, Holidate is a feel-good film perfect for anyone who’s ever felt the pressures of being single during the holidays.

🎄 Whether you’re in it for the laughs, the romance, or the relatable family chaos, Holidate is a festive treat you don’t want to miss!
