Netflix's 'Holidate': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about romantic comedy
Families don't like it when you're single. It is especially worse when you are single during the holidays because what are holidays if not spent with loved ones? But when you show up single at your family's doorstep, it starts a long painful sequence of prying questions and stressful interrogation.
In Netflix's upcoming movie 'Holidate', Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey go through something similar. That is until they find a solution — "a holidate". What exactly is that? Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy.
Release date
'Holidate' will release on Netflix on October 28, 2020.
Plot
The official synopsis of the film states: "Sloane (Emma Roberts) and Jackson (Luke Bracey) hate the holidays. They constantly find themselves single, sitting at the kids' table, or stuck with awkward dates. But when these two strangers meet one particularly bad Christmas, they make a pact to be each other's "holidate" for every festive occasion throughout the next year. With a mutual disdain for the holidays, and assuring themselves that they have no romantic interest in the other, they make the perfect team. However, as a year of absurd celebrations come to an end, Sloane and Jackson find that sharing everything they hate may just prove to be something they unexpectedly love."
