Which 2011 romantic comedy film has the same title as the holiday it follows?

The story behind the answer

The 2011 romantic comedy film titled “New Year’s Eve” follows several interconnected stories during New Year’s Eve in New York City.

Directed by Garry Marshall, the film uses an ensemble structure similar to his earlier holiday-themed romantic comedy Valentine’s Day. Its cast includes Hilary Swank, Ashton Kutcher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Zac Efron, Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, and others.

The plotlines unfold as characters prepare for, work through, or attend the city’s New Year celebrations. The film includes themes of reconciliation, fresh starts, family relationships, romance, and personal resolutions. It was released in the United States on December 9, 2011.

The film is sometimes confused with Valentine’s Day because both were directed by Marshall and use multiple connected stories. They are separate films with different holiday settings and casts, although several actors appear in both.
