The sequel sees Sex Education\u2019s Asa Butterfield reprise his role as James, whose relationship with girlfriend Hayley (Cora Kirk) is once again tested by another turbulent family Christmas following a series of unfortunate events when his father (Alex Jennings) invites Hayley\u2019s family to spend Christmas in a luxury ski resort in the Alps.<\/p>\n
It is quite rare that romcoms get sequels, but for both lead actors, it was a no-brainer to reunite and reprise their roles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had so much fun on the first one and formed this nice group,\u201d Butterfield explained during an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was such a unique dynamic between these two characters and families, who are different and came together to form this beautiful, familiar and homely feeling. Then being able to come together and do that again, but this time on the ski slopes in Austria, absolutely!\u201d<\/p> The film has all the trademarks of a great Christmas movie and features a vast array of comedic mishaps between the two families \u2013 who come from rather different backgrounds.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels very familiar,\u201d Butterfield said. \u201cIt\u2019s very British and has that classic Christmas feeling to it, which everyone loves. If you don\u2019t love Christmas then this film isn\u2019t for you.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kirk also believes that the movie has a wider appeal because of how relatable the characters and circumstances are \u2013 especially during lockdown when families couldn\u2019t spend time together over Christmas.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re looking at two families who come from two different ends of the UK,\u201d she said. \u201cIn this one specifically, there\u2019s the financial struggle that they go through and Christmas isn\u2019t about what you can buy someone or the expense of the present, it\u2019s about who you\u2019re with. We can relate to that, especially with the Christmases we have had where people couldn\u2019t be together.\u201d<\/p>\n Butterfield and Kirk are joined in the movie by a huge ensemble cast that includes Daniel Mays, Angela Griffin, Alex Jennings and Jane Krakowski. And also starring is British screen icon David Bradley \u2013 best known for his roles in Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Doctor Who.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s brilliantly funny. He always catches me off guard with his little quips and reactions and facial expressions,\u201d Butterfield said of the veteran actor. \u201cI ended up doing scenes where I\u2019m not acting, I\u2019m watching David because he\u2019s just so funny and great to watch. It\u2019s a treat.\u201d<\/p>\n The ending of the movie is left wide open for the potential of a third movie and whilst no talks have taken place yet, both actors would be only too happy to reprise their roles one last time.<\/p>\n \u201cWe would love the ensemble to come together for a third and final time,\u201d said Kirk. \u201cTrilogies are a win in my book, so it would be lovely to get back together.\u201d<\/p>\n And Butterfield added: \u201cWe\u2019ve got our fingers crossed, I hope Amazon are watching this\u2026 it\u2019s on them.\u201d<\/p> \n
