24 Quotes From 'The Holiday' For The Most Perfect Captions This Season

What do you get when a romantic comedy meets the holidays? The Holiday, of course. Every December since this movie came out in 2006, you might snuggle up on the couch and cue up the title screen. You may wait for the first notes of the soundtrack to tug on your heartstrings, and the iconic scenes to fill your soul with gumption. Now, you need some quotes from The Holiday for the most perfect captions this season.

Before you gather up those captions, though, let’s spill some truth: The concept behind this movie is genius. (Spoiler alerts ahead.) Two women switch places for a week during the holidays. Amanda (Cameron Diaz) goes to London and falls in love with Graham (Jude Law), while Iris (Kate Winslet) goes to Los Angeles and creates a life for herself full of happiness, friendship, and love — thanks to a cute elderly man and Miles (Jack Black).

These couples share a lot of emotional, light-hearted, and relatable moments — from deep heart-to-hearts over fettuccine, to movie score duets sung loudly in a video store. By the time the credits roll, you've learned to be the leading character in your life and that the unexpected can be truly amazing.
