Twenty-six years after Notting Hill redefined modern romance, the world’s favorite love story returns — deeper, snow-dusted, and wrapped in the bittersweet glow of second chances. Notting Hill 2: A Christmas Promise (2025) arrives as one of Hollywood’s most anticipated holiday films, blending nostalgia with a brand-new emotional punch that resonates with today’s audiences.
🌨️ THE STORY — A LOVE INTERRUPTED FINDS ITS WAY HOME
Will Thacker’s iconic travel bookshop, once a symbol of quiet charm in the heart of Notting Hill, is now collapsing under financial pressure. A massive corporate chain threatens to swallow Portobello Road whole, pushing out small businesses one by one. Will, older but still hopelessly sincere, finds himself at a crossroads: fight for the shop that shaped his life… or finally let it go.
Meanwhile, Anna Scott — the world-famous actress who once turned Will’s ordinary world upside down — is forced into sudden retreat. After a career-threatening on-set accident, Anna disappears from the public eye and quietly returns to London, hoping to rediscover the peace she once found in the city… and in someone she never truly forgot.
Her heart leads her back to Notting Hill.
Her memories lead her back to Will.
And fate does the rest.
🎁 A GIFT FROM A GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST
In a moment of quiet compassion, Anna secretly donates a large sum to save Will’s failing shop. She hopes to stay anonymous — slipping in and out of London like a whisper, without reopening old wounds.
But Christmas has other plans.
A forgotten signature…
A misplaced receipt…
A familiar smile at the wrong moment…
Suddenly, the truth spills out in a stunning Christmas Eve reveal that stops Portobello Road in its tracks.
❄️ NEW GENERATION, NEW HEARTBEAT
Notting Hill 2 expands its emotional world by introducing two new characters who reshape Will and Anna’s journey:
⭐ Daisy Edgar-Jones — playing Lily Thacker
Will’s daughter, a young journalist determined to save the neighborhood she grew up in — and her father’s heart.
⭐ Andrew Garfield — playing Michael
A charming but conflicted actor who forms an unexpected bond with Lily, creating a parallel love story that echoes the past while carving its own path.
Together, they help bridge the decades — proving that Notting Hill belongs not just to one love story, but to generations.
