Christmas Special: Laughter reigns supreme in Netflix’s ‘Holidate’

The Emma Roberts-starrer mines comedic gold out of an unexpected holiday date

The holidays can be a touchy time for romance, especially for those who are perpetually single. Netflix’s Holidate embodies this conflict, centred around Sloane Benson (played by Emma Roberts), a woman struggling to find a date for Christmas, just to evade her family’s snide judgement. Fate pits her against Luke Bracey’s Jackson, a suave Australian who is also looking for just a ‘Holiday Date’. What follows is a hilariously intimate romance, where the two try to navigate a relationship that involves them only dating during the holidays. So if you’re looking to watch something frothy and fun, raise a glass of eggnog and enjoy this thorough entertainer!
