Lindsay Lohan returns to starring roles in Falling for Christmas

Lindsay Lohan will make her return to lead roles this year after being absent from the marquee for nearly a decade, starring in the Netflix original holiday movie Falling for Christmas.

In Netflix’s Falling for Christmas, Lindsay Lohan “plays hotel heiress Sierra, whose new engagement goes off the rails when she gets into a skiing accident that leaves her with total amnesia. Luckily, Sierra finds herself in the care of a blue-collar widower (Chord Overstreet) and his precocious daughter (Olivia Perez) in the days leading up to Christmas.”

Lohan has been planning her comeback for some time now, first revealing she would be doing a Christmas movie with Netflix last year. When it was announced earlier this year that Lindsay Lohan actually signed a two-picture deal with the streaming giant, it was a clear indicator that she was ready to reemerge onscreen. The trailer for Falling for Christmas is due out later this week.

Lindsay Lohan seems particularly excited about this Netflix venture, saying, “It’s such a refreshing, heartwarming romantic comedy and I miss doing those kinds of movies.” No word yet on if her character will wow audiences on stage with a rendition of “Jingle Bell Rock” ala Mean Girls.

The actress’ second Netflix picture, Irish Wish, will star the Lohan “as a bridesmaid who makes a magic wish that turns her into the bride, only to realize that may not be what she really wants.” It is also directed by Janeen Damian and is due out sometime next year.

Lindsay Lohan previously ahd small role in the 2019 supernatural thriller Among the Shadows but hasn’t had a lead since Paul Schrader’s The Canyons, released in 2013.

Falling for Christmas comes to Netflix on November 10.
