The romantic comedy "The Holiday" is set to return to theaters on December 11th, celebrating its 20th anniversary. The 2006 film, written and directed by Nancy Meyers, follows Iris and Amanda, portrayed by Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz, respectively.

Amanda falls for Iris's charming brother Graham, played by Jude Law, and Iris finds inspiration and romance with Miles, a film composer portrayed by Jack Black. The film was a box office success, grossing over $200 million worldwide.
