Best Christmas movies on Netflix: Holidate

The holidays are a time for family. While we’re sure you’re not going to miss invasive questions from your aunts and uncles about when you’re going to be settling down or if you have a significant other this year, you may be wistful for the shenanigans that happen at large family events. That’s where the seasonal romantic comedy Holidate comes in.

Sloane (Emma Roberts) just really wants to get through the holidays without her family talking to her about their “well-meaning” concern over her being single. Jackson (Luke Bracey) is in the same predicament so, of course, the two are a match made in fake-dating heaven.

Taking a page out of her Aunt Susan’s (Kristen Chenoweth) playbook, Sloane and Jackson agree to be non-sexual holidates for each other because friends with benefits never work out and they want someone who knows that this is a platonic “hit it and quit it” situation.

Surely, because they made a pact, that means no pesky feelings will crop up unexpectedly. Obviously, this is strictly holiday business to ward off the questions and the “I know someone you may be interested in” conversations and set-ups. Clearly, nothing could possibly go wrong. Not a thing. We’re totally sure these two will not fall in love. So sure.
