What do you mean it was all an accident?
The creator of ‘The Holiday’, Nancy Meyers, has revealed the film was never meant to be a Christmas hit.
Talking to the Hollywood Gold Podcast, the writer and director said: “I know it’s called The Holiday because they’re taking a holiday, but it could have been called that if it was in the summer.”
“Everybody sees it as a Christmas movie, and when I watched it last night, I was a little shocked at how much Christmas was in it.”

“So it was that, not, ‘Hey, I think I’ll make a festive holiday movie.’ Not at all,” she added.
As Christmas rolls around each year, it seems Nancy and the cast of 'The Holiday' are fighting off sequel rumours each weeks.
Earlier this month, Jude Law himself had set the record straight to fans expecting a sequel.
