The new ending
As Sloane and Jackson continue their annual tradition of being each other's "holidate," their bond deepens, and they find themselves falling in love. However, just as they are about to confess their feelings, a mysterious twist takes place.
During a New Year's Eve party, Sloane and Jackson stumble upon a hidden room in the host's mansion. Inside, they discover a time-traveling device. Intrigued, they decide to give it a try and find themselves transported back to their very first holidate, but with a twist.
Instead of reliving the same events, they find themselves in an alternate reality where they never met each other. Sloane is now engaged to a wealthy businessman, and Jackson is in a committed relationship with a successful lawyer.
Both of them have seemingly perfect lives, but something feels off.
As they navigate this new reality, Sloane and Jackson can't shake the feeling that they are missing something vital. They realize that their connection was more than just a holiday fling; it was a once-in-a-lifetime love.
Determined to find their way back to each other, they embark on a mission to restore their original timeline.
Through a series of adventures and heartwrenching moments, Sloane and Jackson discover that their love transcends time and space. They learn that destiny brought them together for a reason, and no matter the circumstances, they are meant to be.
In a climactic moment, Sloane and Jackson finally manage to return to their original timeline, but with a newfound appreciation for their love. They confess their feelings, and the chemistry between them ignites once again.
This time, however, they are not just holidates; they are a couple ready to face the world together.
The film ends with Sloane and Jackson celebrating their first official date, filled with laughter, love, and the promise of a future together. The audience is left with a sense of wonder and the realization that sometimes, the most unexpected twists can lead to the most extraordinary love stories.
As the credits roll, viewers are left pondering the power of fate, the significance of timing, and the magic that can be found in the most unlikely of places.
