What if you could relive Christmas until you finally got your life right? Netflix is bringing a festive twist to the familiar holiday-movie formula with In a Holidaze, a romantic comedy starring Maddie Ziegler. The streaming platform has unveiled the film’s official trailer, offering a glimpse of a cosy Christmas escape filled with complicated feelings, romantic missteps and second chances. Set against the warmth of a family cabin during the holidays, the film combines the magic of Christmas with the chaos of getting stuck in a time loop.
At the heart of the story is a directionless woman in her twenties who makes a romantic mistake with consequences she cannot simply wish away. Just when she might expect to move on, she finds herself reliving the same Christmas at her family’s cabin. Each repeat brings another opportunity to reconsider her choices, navigate tangled relationships and work out what she really wants from life. But escaping the loop may require more than correcting one disastrous romantic decision. She must discover what genuinely makes her happy.
The film’s premise gives the holiday romance a playful hook. Christmas movies often revolve around finding love, reconnecting with family or rediscovering the joy of the season. In a Holidaze adds a supernatural twist by giving its protagonist what seems like an endless supply of do-overs. The catch? Repeating the same festive celebration does not necessarily make things easier. With familiar faces, unresolved feelings and new possibilities waiting in every loop, the story explores whether a second chance can lead to a better ending when someone finally understands what matters most.
Ziegler leads an ensemble cast featuring Graham Phillips, Elias Kacavas, Patton Oswalt, Jackie Sandler, Andrea Anders, Gil Bellows, Christopher Shyer, Samer Salem, Luke Roessier, Meredith Salenger and Rob Lowe. The mix of performers adds to the film’s appeal, with the family gathering providing plenty of room for romantic complications and holiday humour. While the trailer introduces the film’s central predicament, audiences will have to wait to discover how the relationships evolve and whether the protagonist can finally break free from her Christmas loop.
Written and directed by Tiffany Paulsen, In a Holidaze marks another feature-film project for the filmmaker, who previously directed Winter Spring Summer or Fall. The story is based on the novel of the same name, bringing a literary foundation to its blend of romance, fantasy and festive storytelling. The adaptation centres on the idea that sometimes the best way to move forward is to revisit the choices that brought you to where you are.
With its snowy cabin setting, family dynamics and romantic time-loop premise, In a Holidaze looks designed for viewers who enjoy holiday stories with a little extra magic. Its central question is both simple and relatable: if you could repeat the same Christmas until you got everything right, would you know what to change? Netflix’s festive romantic comedy is scheduled for release on December 2, 2026, making it a timely addition to the season’s holiday-watch list.
