It might be December now, but as far as I'm concered it is always The Holiday season. While there are actually countless reasons this film is a piece of cinematic excellence, here are 48 reasons I'd like to highlight.
Cameron's Hair
![Hair](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/V6EnlG3ks/0x0/2013/12/hair.jpg)
Her hair! How many times have I brought a picture of this style to the hair dresser? Many. How many times have I left with it looking like that? Zero.
Ed Burns in his underwear
![Underwear](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/eHudV5m2P/0x0/2013/12/underwear.jpg)
Ed Burns in his underwear. Brava writer/director Nancy Meyers.
Cameron's Fake Crying
![Fake crying](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/8fWuifvvf/0x0/2013/12/fake-crying.jpg)
Cameron's fake crying. No one in a movie has ever done a better job of trying to force themselves to tears.
Kate Winslet's real tears
![Real tears](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/hV3MEwoHR/0x0/2013/12/real-tears.jpg)
Kate Winslet's real tears! Heartbreak is taking a toll on homegirl...
Jasper Bloom
![Jasper](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/oFWqTbhIq/0x0/2013/12/jasper.jpg)
Because of Jasper Bloom. That's his name. There has never existed such a perfect, Brittish man name.
The best fake movie trailer of all time
![James lindsay](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/1IQzyGqPB/0x0/2013/12/james-lindsay.jpg)
The best fake movie trailer of all time. Starring Lindsay Lohan and James Franco? Can I pre-order my tickets now?
The Editors
![The editors](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/33yc76xsT/0x0/2013/12/the-editors.jpg)
So that amazing trailer? It's edited by Kathryn Hahn and John Krasinski, only adding to it's awesomeness.
IMing
![Iming](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/zWlrwyK0o/0x0/2013/12/iming.jpg)
They Instant Message to set up this home exchange. SO 2006!
This email
![Email](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/oGdQoi2gc/0x0/2013/12/email.jpg)
The most perfect email that has even been sent, and one I will be remembering for inevitable future use in my own life.
Glamorous Jobs
![Glamorous job at the telegraph](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/lUiMQzABA/0x0/2013/12/glamorous-job-at-the-telegraph.jpg)
Can we just talk about all the glamorous jobs in this movie? Kate's publishing job, Cameron editing movie trailers, even Jack Black's composing!
Kate's Cottage
![Cute cottage](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/IhVCrnWAi/0x0/2013/12/cute-cottage.jpg)
Kate Winslet's cottage. Can I move in? Please?
Cameron's House
![La house](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/vcJNhkCWH/0x0/2013/12/la-house.jpg)
Wasn't it a little hard for Cameron's character Amanda to leave that insanely gorgeous house in LA? Wowwee
Kate Jumps on the Bed
![Kate jumps on the bed](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/YR_VWflQ_/0x0/2013/12/kate-jumps-on-the-bed.jpg)
But don't worry, Kate Winslet's character Iris fits right in to her temporary home.
Cameron's eye mask
![Eye mask](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/sgQ80OLIF/0x0/2013/12/eye-mask.jpg)
Yes, LA to London is a long flight but you know Amanda is traveling in style with that eye mask.
Walking to the House
![Walking to the house in heels](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/9lgXuDOS-/0x0/2013/12/walking-to-the-house-in-heels.jpg)
Cam's character may have traveled in a little too much style... but her walk up the road to Kate's house in those heels is kind of the best.
Coziest movie all time.
![Cozy](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Z0nDAtsBt/0x0/2013/12/cozy.jpg)
No movie has ever been so COZY.
Cameron's fingerless gloves.
![Fingerless gloves](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/0uoPxuL0P/0x0/2013/12/fingerless-gloves.jpg)
Those fingerless gloves Cameron wears inside? Need.
Cameron's Sweaters
![Cams sweaters](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/5Xc9ETXgS/0x0/2013/12/cams-sweaters.jpg)
Cameron's sweaters. Each and every one of them.
Wine in the Store
![Drinking wine in the store](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/ZqSF5AIRV/0x0/2013/12/drinking-wine-in-the-store.jpg)
Why wait to get back to the cottage? Cameron's Amanda gets a head start on the wine at the store.
Cameron Driving
![Cam driving](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/fN3dQb53r/0x0/2013/12/cam-driving.jpg)
Thank you, The Holiday, for this scene. Driving on the other side of the road is not the breeze it appears to be in other films.
Mr. Brightside
![Mr bright eyes](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/pJxqm3Xyp/0x0/2013/12/mr-bright-eyes.jpg)
The Killers' Mr. Brightside will never be the same.
The Pool
![The pool](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/t2HVR0f8P/0x0/2013/12/the-pool.jpg)
Pools are always a fun amenity but do people get proper use out of them? Kate Winslet's character sure did.
Jack Black
![Jack black](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/4XH0RLbLf/0x0/2013/12/jack-black1.jpg)
Jack Black, all day. He is nothing short of amazing in this movie.
Eyelash
![Eyelash](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/cB0rLegwj/0x0/2013/12/eyelash.jpg)
He removes an eyelash for Iris! Swoon!

LA Bed
![LA bed](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/H81GN_Qmu/0x0/2013/12/la-bed.jpg)
I know for a fact that I have never been in a bed as comfortable as the one in the LA house seems to be.
Blinds
![Black out blinds](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Km8PHfLFr/0x0/2013/12/black-out-blinds.jpg)
And those blinds!! We all have too many remote controls but I will happily take one more for blinds like that.
Jude Law's tan
![Jude law tan](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/TPzWlPmZx/0x0/2013/12/jude-law-tan.jpg)
Jude Law is officially the tannest British person to ever exist.
Jude
![Another jude law](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/xYE6jrFOW/0x0/2013/12/another-jude-law.jpg)
But like...how adorable is he in this movie? Has he ever looked even remotely as hot? Best Jude Law character period.
Cameron's pjs
![Pajamas](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/hhzRxYZFi/0x0/2013/12/pajamas.jpg)
Um, I sleep in sweatpants and an old t-shirt and this girl is rocking super soft cute pants and a sweater. Just on another level.
Cozy Sweaters
![Sweater cozy](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/YalDQ_4N-/0x0/2013/12/sweater-cozy.jpg)
More cozy sweaters! They are never ending in this movie.
The word "complicated"
![Complicated](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/SmlN8am3D/0x0/2013/12/complicated.jpg)
If you ever want to play a drinking game for this movie, take a shot every time the word "complicated" is used. Good luck!
English Countryside
![Landscape](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EvmhMNS6r/0x0/2013/12/landscape.jpg)
The English countryside. Picturesque does not begin to describe it.
The lunch
![Their lunch](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/44EbiYw1D/0x0/2013/12/their-lunch.jpg)
Cameron walks into lunch with Jude as Frou Frou's "Let Go" plays and we all get chills.
MR. NAPKIN HEAD
![Napkin man](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EZ-BLh3na/0x0/2013/12/napkin-man.jpg)
MR. NAPKIN HEAD
Sophie and Olivia
![Sophie and olivia](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/1B0tYGu-z/0x0/2013/12/sophie-and-olivia.jpg)
Sophia and Olivia, two little girls responsible for capturing all the hearts in the world.
The tent
![The tent](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/TidPrRWSa/0x0/2013/12/the-tent.jpg)
Their tent. As cozy and decadent as either of the houses in England or LA.
Jude
![Jude](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/TaCMriRYx/0x0/2013/12/jude.jpg)
Still, and forever in this movie: Jude Law.
Berry Kiss
![Berry kiss](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/q6ftYojMZ/0x0/2013/12/berry-kiss.jpg)
The Berry Kiss.
Arthur
![The old man](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/aBseSw0oq/0x0/2013/12/the-old-man.jpg)
The sweetest old man in a movie of all time, Arthur.
Kate and Arthur go for a swim
![Kate and the old man](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/6trEwMNuP/0x0/2013/12/kate-and-the-old-man.jpg)
Kate's Iris and Arthur go for a swim in that beautiful pool.
Blockbuster
![Blockbuster](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/oqtNCT7fL/0x0/2013/12/blockbuster.jpg)
Iris and Jack Black's Miles go to Blockbuster. This movie is like a time capsule!
The Chanukah Party
![Chanukah party](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/v0Pghp9zC/0x0/2013/12/chanukah-party.jpg)
Forget fancy dinners and night clubs, all the fun is clearly happening at Iris' Chanukah party.
Arthur's Speech
![The speech](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/Ri3vOegCY/0x0/2013/12/the-speech.jpg)
Technically this movie is an award-winning film because Arthur wins one in it.
Boob Graze
![Boob graze](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/EXMhXdCtF/0x0/2013/12/boob-graze.jpg)
This boob graze is dedicated to all of the other awkward boob grazes throughout time.
Sophie and Olivia
![Sophie and olivia 2](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/HktFFo7hm/0x0/2013/12/sophie-and-olivia-2.jpg)
"You look like my Barbie"
Cameron runs back
![Running back to the house](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/sPdA5VBl0/0x0/2013/12/running-back-to-the-house.jpg)
So appropriate might not be the word, but Cameron's character Amanda slightly improved her running-through-the-snowy-countryside footwear for the trek back into Jude Law's arms.
Cozy
![Cozyyyy](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/nrjtVvfIe/0x0/2013/12/cozyyyy.jpg)
Did I mention everything in this movie is the coziest of all time?
The NYE Party
![New years eve party](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/l7n4KCWxC/0x0/2013/12/new-years-eve-party.jpg)
If I were these characters, I wouldn't want to celebrate a new year because so far the last few weeks of the current one were pretty perfect.
