About
In a Holidaze is an upcoming Netflix romantic comedy film adapted from Christina Lauren's New York Times bestselling novel of the same name. Christina Lauren is the pen name of co-writing duo Lauren Billings and Christina Hobbs, who have become one of the most popular romance authorship teams in contemporary fiction. The screenplay was written by Billings, Hobbs, and Tiffany Paulsen, who also directs. The story follows a young woman who, after a disastrous holiday season, makes a desperate wish for a do-over and finds herself reliving the same family vacation at a snowy mountain lodge, with the chance to fix her mistakes and find true love. The time-loop romantic premise combines the cozy holiday movie formula with a Groundhog Day-style narrative device. Maddie Ziegler (Dance Moms, West Side Story) stars in the lead role, with Rob Lowe, Graham Phillips, and Elias Kacavas joining the cast. The film is produced under Alloy Entertainment's new first-look deal with Netflix, positioning it as a key title in Netflix's growing holiday movie slate. Production is scheduled to begin on January 29, 2026, in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, with filming running through March 12, 2026. The Whistler locations will provide the snow-covered mountain lodge setting central to the story, while Vancouver serves as the production hub with its established film infrastructure. The winter filming schedule ensures authentic snowy landscapes for the holiday-themed story. A late 2026 holiday season release is anticipated.
