- This year, why not re-watch the beloved 2005 rom-com The Holiday a little differently?
- Over 15 different locations over the 2025 Christmas season will get to enjoy the film with Han Zimmer’s score performed live by a full orchestra.
- Here’s where the festive favourite accompanied by live music is screening across the UK later this year.
It’s regarded as one of those Christmas films that almost ‘has’ to be watched at least once over the festive period, but for fans of The Holiday, this year’s screening is different.
The Holiday In Concert brings the beloved rom-com starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black to 15 different venues across the UK in December 2025. This time, however, it will be backed by a full live orchestra performing the score – penned by Oscar winner Hans Zimmer – to audiences.

Hide AdFrom writer-director-producer Nancy Meyers, known for celebrated films like It’s Complicated, The Intern, Something’s Gotta Give, and The Parent Trap, The Holiday follows the tale of two women, strangers living 6,000 miles apart.
Seeking an escape, they meet online via a home exchange website and impulsively swap houses for the holiday season. Iris (Winslet) journeys to Amanda's (Diaz) sun-drenched L.A. home, while Amanda retreats to Iris's snow-covered English countryside cottage.
Shortly after arriving, both women stumble upon the one thing neither expected: a new romance.
A mainstay of holiday viewing since its release in 2006 and continually cited as one of the best “meet-cute” romantic comedies of the 2000s, why not treat yourself to a repeat viewing this year with the full backing of a live orchestra?
