Nancy Meyers' warm, character-driven approach to romance through seasonal settings and personal reinvention translates perfectly to this story about two people discovering what matters most during their annual escapes together.

The bittersweet separation that drives both narratives—where newfound romance collides with the inevitability of parting ways—creates the same tender heartache beneath the holiday sparkle.
6. What Happens Later (2023)
Both films use holiday settings and geographic displacement as catalysts for romantic reckoning, but "What Happens Later" distills that formula into a single transformative night where two people confront what might have been rather than escape into what could be.
7. Beaus of Holly (2020)
Nancy Meyers' signature blend of emotional vulnerability wrapped in aspirational comfort—cozy settings, witty banter, and the messy reality that new romance can't erase complicated feelings—anchors both films.
