Holidae In is a single by American rapper Chingy, the second from his album Jackpot. It features Snoop Dogg and Ludacris, and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #35 on the UK Singles Chart.

The music video directed by Jeremy Rall adapts the video concept of Tupac Shakur's 1995 single "Temptations", where the viewer is guided through a "Maniac Mansion" called the Jackpot Inn, in which every room has a special feature including a sleeproom, a pillow fight room (room 102), Jamaican smoke room (room 103), a neon glow room and there's also a Brady Bunch parody with a 3x3 checked screen segment.

The video for "Holidae In" was nominated for a MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video in 2004.

The title refers to the Holiday Inn hotel chain.

Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered this song on their 2006 album, "Silent Nightclub".

On the third verse of the song, Ludacris used Snoop's slang, which surprises many listeners.
