The Holiday has cemented itself as a festive classic that Brits still sit down to watch every Christmas, almost two decades after it hit screens. The beloved movie sees chronically unlucky in love Amanda (Cameron Diaz) plan a house swap and spend the holidays in a cute country cottage in the UK, which belongs to journalist Iris (Kate Winslet).

Surrey-based Iris ditches her picturesque English home for Amanda's LA mansion and both lovelorn women are swept off their feet with an exciting new romance when they meet Graham and Miles. But what most fans don't know is that one hilarious scene in the movie was actually inspired by a real life moment on set.
