Director: Jason Bourque
What happens when a couple has to relive their own love story for an audience of one skeptical boyfriend? Our Holiday Story, a 2024 Christmas romance, builds its whole plot around that exact predicament.
What is Our Holiday Story about?
Sat around the table with their daughter's new boyfriend, a married couple starts telling the story of the Christmas they fell for each other. As the retelling unfolds, the film moves back and forth between the present-day dinner and the past holiday season where their romance actually took shape, complete with mishaps, near-misses and the kind of coincidences that only happen in Christmas movies. The framing device gives the film a chance to comment gently on its own genre while still delivering the seasonal warmth audiences come to these stories for.
Cast & crew
Nikki DeLoach and Warren Christie play the central couple whose younger selves anchor the flashback romance, while Lisa Durupt, Sydney Scotia and Gavin Langelo round out a supporting cast built for a busy family-holiday ensemble. Director Jason Bourque, a regular in the seasonal-romance space, leans into the dual-timeline structure, using it to keep scenes short and the tone consistently light rather than building toward a single big reveal.
Context & significance
Our Holiday Story is a 2024 addition to the crowded field of Christmas-set romances, distinguished mainly by its framing conceit: a couple narrating their own origin story rather than the more common present-tense meet-cute. That structure lets the film move quickly between decorating scenes, family dinners and the earlier holiday flashback without needing much connective tissue, which is typical of the genre's efficient, low-stakes storytelling. Made for the seasonal television circuit, it follows the same annual rhythm as dozens of similar releases, arriving each winter to give audiences a familiar, undemanding kind of comfort viewing.
