Short description

Fed up with being single on holidays, two strangers agree to be each other's platonic plus-ones all year long, only to catch real feelings along the way.

What's left behind the scenes

In one morning scene, Emma Roberts' character covers her face with a sheet to prevent Luke Bracey's character from trying to kiss her. According to the actress, she hates watching movie characters kiss immediately after waking up, calling it "cringe and gross." Her aunt, Julia Roberts, says the same thing in Joe Roth's romantic comedy 'America's Sweethearts' (2001).
The doll named Lester, mentioned by Emma Roberts' character and briefly seen in her home, is a reference to ventriloquist Willie Tyler's Lester doll. The doll was hugely popular in the 1970s and 1980s and was sold in retail chains such as Sears.
In the days following the film's release on Netflix, in a scene from a Halloween party, one of the characters, dressed as a black cat and calling himself Black Panther, said a few words mentioning Chadwick Boseman. Boseman died in August, shortly before the film's release in October 2020. Soon these remarks were either removed or new ones were recorded over them.
