Often imitated, never duplicated, this very wry, very British ensemble rom-com is a modern holiday staple. Over a few weeks leading up to Christmas, we follow several storylines: a lonely prime minister, a widower and his stepson, a newly divorced writer and his Portuguese housekeeper, a wife and mother who discovers an ugly truth about her husband, and a nerdy pair of movie stand-ins, among others. The storylines all intersect at, of all things, a children's Christmas pageant.
Watch it now.
