Lindsay Lohan brings holiday cheer in Netflix’s latest Christmas comedy
A festive reunion with a twist
Lindsay Lohan is back, bringing her charm into the holiday season with Netflix’s new comedy, “Our Little Secret”. This film reunites viewers with a touch of the familiar, wrapped in the chaos of festive mischief. Lohan, known for her roles in holiday favorites, portrays a character entangled in an intricate web of past relationships and family dynamics, promising both laughter and heartfelt moments.
“Our Little Secret”, which debuts on November 27, features Lohan alongside Ian Harding—best known for his role in Pretty Little Liars. The duo plays exes forced to spend Christmas together under the same roof, only to discover that their current partners are actually siblings. The plot thickens when Lohan’s character ends up in confrontations with her boyfriend’s mother, played by the ever-charismatic Kristin Chenoweth.
Other notable cast members include Tim Meadows, Jon Rudnitsky, Henry Czerny, Judy Reyes, Chris Parnell, Dan Bucatinsky, Katie Baker, Jake Brennan, Ash Santos, and Brian Unger. This stellar lineup adds further depth and diversity to the film, enhancing its appeal.
The warmth of holiday filmmaking
Lohan, who also serves as the executive producer of the film, shares her enthusiasm for holiday-themed projects. “It’s so beautiful to be able to do films that are associated with holidays because it’s family time,” she remarks. “When you can make a movie that families can remember and come together to see, it makes it all the more special.”
“Our Little Secret” marks Lohan’s third collaborative effort with the streaming giant and her second holiday feature. Previously, she headlined the cast of “Falling for Christmas” in 2022 and delivered a splendid performance in “Irish Wish” earlier this year, both of which received positive reviews and highlighted her versatility as a producer and actor.
Creative forces behind the film
The film is directed by Stephen Herek, known for classics like Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Critters. His direction promises a blend of nostalgic elements with fresh, comedic twists. The screenplay, penned by Hailey DeDominicis, adds a dynamic narrative structure that brings out the best in its characters and storyline.
Lisa Gooding and Mike Elliot take on the roles of producers, while Joseph P. Genier and Lohan herself handle executive production responsibilities, ensuring that the film maintains high standards of creativity and execution.
A festive lineup to remember
“Our Little Secret” is the crowning jewel in Netflix’s four-week string of romantic comedy premieres. The festive season kicks off with “Meet Me Next Christmas” featuring Christina Milian, arriving on November 6. Then comes “Hot Frosty” with Lacey Chabert and Dustin Milligan on November 13, followed by “The Merry Gentlemen” starring Chad Michael Murray on November 20.
Netflix doesn’t stop there.
