A story of young love, embracing the holiday spirit and the importance of family; Your Christmas Or Mine? is a joyful watch for the festive period.
The movie follows a young couple who end up having to experience each other’s family Christmas without their partners when one big surprise sends Christmas in the wrong direction.
The awkward mishap makes for a great, feel-good festive film and a romantic comedy, and it’s coming to the small screen very soon.
So, if you’re eager to bundle up on the couch with a warm mug of hot chocolate, here’s everything you need to know about the British comedy, including when and where you can watch it.
What is Your Christmas Or Mine? about?
Students Hayley and James are young and in love. And what do you do when you’re young and in love? You decide to spontaneously surprise one another for Christmas.
As per the synopsis, the two say their goodbyes before heading home for Christmas, but then both make the same mad split-second decision to swap trains and surprise each other. Passing each other in the station, they are completely unaware that they have just swapped Christmases.
“Hayley arrives at a vast mansion in a small village in the Gloucester countryside to find a place where Christmas does not exist, whilst James heads north to a small semi-detached in Macclesfield and steps into the warm and chaotic pandemonium that only a large family Christmas can bring.”
“When the entire country is blanketed in the biggest snowfall on record, our star-crossed lovers are trapped at the most manic time of the year. Christmas traditions are turned on their head, secrets are revealed, and family truths are told with hilarious consequences.”
Soon enough, the couple realise that there is an awful lot they don’t know about each other, while concerns as to whether they’ll be able to swap back in time for Christmas Day, and whether their fledgling relationship will make it through to the New Year start to rise.
