The Holiday has become a festive favourite in recent years, and the original stars are likely to return for a movie sequel.
The original romcom arrived at cinemas back in 2006, and starred Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and Kate Winslet. While a modest hit at the time, over the years it has become a Christmas classic.
Amazingly, the whole cast have reportedly signed up to film a sequel.
According to reports, filming for the sequel will begin next year, 17 years after the original.
