It's gonna be a White Christmas this week because we're cozying up to a pair of mid-2000s star-studded holiday affairs: the familial dramedy "The Family Stone" featuring Sarah Jessica Parker as an uptight, homophobic working woman who is forced to spend the holidays with her boyfriend's toxic liberal family (Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, Luke Wilson, Rachel McAdams) and the Nancy Meyers house swap romcom "The Holiday" featuring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black as a bunch of rich, beautiful white people finding love in new cities. We're joined by writer Kaycee Felton-Lui to discuss these surprisingly dark holiday semi-classics and why "The Family Stone" in particular, is one of her own family’s go to holiday films.

"The Family Stone" is streaming on HBOMax and "The Holiday" is available to rent on all rental streaming apps.
