Christina Lauren fans have an early Christmas present to anticipate. Netflix’s film adaptation of the author duo’s In A Holidaze will arrive on the streamer Dec. 2.
Written and directed by Tiffany Paulsen (Winter Spring Summer Fall), the story centers “a directionless twentysomething” who “after making a romantic mistake of epic proportions” becomes trapped in a holiday time loop, “forced to relive the same Christmas at her family’s cabin until she discovers what makes her happy.
Billed as Love Actually meets Groundhog Day, it’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones, who’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions. While on a Christmas trip at her family’s favorite snowy Utah cabin, she pleas to the universe to help her turn things around, which results in a holiday time-loop that she cannot escape.
The film stars Maddie Ziegler, Rob Lowe, Graham Phillips and Elias Kacavas, as Deadline first reported. Patton Oswalt, Jackie Sandler, Gil Bellows and Andrea Anders will also appear.
Lauren Billings and Christina Hobbs posted the news to their Instagram.
