Holiday Showdown is a reality television programme, produced by UK independent TV production company RDF Media, which first aired in 2003 on ITV1 in the United Kingdom. It has aired for five series in Britain and a pilot episode has been produced for the US.

The show follows two families, who have never met before, as they spend two weeks together at each of their ideal holiday destinations. The families do not know where the other family are planning to take them, but both must try and convince their guests that their own holiday is an enjoyable experience, as well as following the rules of their hosts when they are taken away. This usually results in conflict between the two families, who often have very different ideas about how to have fun.

At the end of the two weeks, the families meet up for one final showdown as they speak honestly about what they thought of each other and the two holidays.
