Live Out the Movie "The Holiday" IRL With a Free Stay at an L.A. or English Home
The film The Holiday pretty much predicted the world of Airbnb. To refresh: The 2006 rom-com follows a Los Angeles woman and a Brit who both want to get away from their sad love lives during Christmas. To do so, they decide to stay in each other’s homes. Anyone who thinks this escape–getting a little R&R in a new place with new people–sounds like a godsend now has the chance to do it for free by entering a contest inspired by the movie.
Love Home Swap, a global home exchange community that’s essentially a dating app for home swapping, has partnered with vacation exchange company RCI to give two lucky winners a chance to relive the holidays this year.

“We decided to launch the #SwapMyHoliday Sweepstakes to give travelers a chance to win a holiday re-do for two and live out their 'The Holiday' dreams in one of our gorgeous properties," Fiona Downing, senior managing director of RCI, told USA TODAY.
The winner gets to choose between a quaint cottage in the English countryside or a stunning hillside home in Los Angeles–just like in the movie! And boy, does the trip include a lot. We’re talking two roundtrip tickets to the winner’s preferred destination, a weeklong stay, airport transfers, and $1,000 of spending money. No, this is not too good to be true!
Here's the California home you could stay in:

To enter, all you have to do is post a photo of how you spent the holidays with #SwapMyHoliday in the caption and tag whoever you want to travel with. Easy enough, right? The process is a little different depending on what social media you use (see full rules here). The contest has already started and ends on February 9. May the odds be ever in your favor!
