Synopsis
The kids call the shots for the family holiday

Whose Holiday is it Anyway? is a brand new show that will see parents hand over the power of their holiday plans, and the entire holiday budget, to their willful teenage kids! Will the parent’s idea of a fun family holiday be matched by what the children have in store? Perhaps the parents dream holiday is a laid back sun holiday that involves nothing more than lying by the pool soaking up the sun. But their children may want something a little more adventurous - completely fed up with chilled holidays they have a very different idea of what they should be doing on holidays! With the entire holiday budget of €3,000 - of their own money! - handed over to the kids, they set about booking their annual family holiday, completely unsupervised! The kids decide everything – from what they will be doing to what they’ll be eating, they will even decide what they’ll be wearing as they are in charge of packing everyone’s bags! Poor mum and dad, without a cent in their pocket, they won’t even know where they are going until they arrive at the airport. With issues of trust, responsibility, control-freakishness and downright determination from the kids, Whose Holiday Is It Anyway?will take family dynamics taken to a new level.
