Lindsay Lohan’s Netflix Christmas Movie Can Complete Her Career Comeback

Lindsay Lohan’s Netflix Christmas movie can complete the career comeback Lohan has had in the works for years. When Netflix subscribers watch Falling for Christmas in late 2022, they will see a story of a spoiled heiress (Lohan), who falls in love with a single father who owns a hotel (Chord Overstreet). Many fans have long wanted to see Lohan overcome the odds and return to the stardom she had when she made Mean Girls and The Parent Trap as a child.

Lindsay Lohan has attempted to reintroduce her brand several times over the last decade. From playing Elizabeth Taylor on Lifetime to co-starring with James Deen in The Canyons,Lohan has gradually started making a career comeback. She even starred in a short-lived reality series called Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club. But her newer work has never been at the scale needed to restore her to movie-star status.

Now that Lindsay Lohan’s leading a Netflix movie, this all may be about to change. Netflix streaming offers an unparalleled level of exposure, which will ensure that Lindsay Lohan’s big return is promoted to nearly every American. The movie will likely also prove to be extremely popular over the festive period later this year when families will gather around the television sets to watch a heartfelt Christmas movie together. It’s hard to see any of this massive exposure as anything but a positive for Lohan’s next career phase.

The quality of Netflix’s Christmas movies has historically been pretty mixed, with a dud like The Christmas Chronicles 2 for every critical darling like A Castle for Christmas. That being said, the movies are generally more fun than not. More importantly, they are usually very popular with Netflix subscribers, who have eaten up budget yuletide movies like A Christmas Prince, The Princess Switch,and Holidate.

After movies like Mean Girls, Lohan still had a lot of audience goodwill leftover and general sympathy for the strange and difficult lives of child actors. However, only time will tell whether Lindsay Lohan’s Netflix debut will revitalize her brand. Lindsay Lohan’s stardom has in many ways been a symbol for contemporary Hollywood: a complex case of simultaneous neglect and interrogation. To many of Lindsay Lohan‘s fans, she’s due for a fair shake, and it looks like Falling for Christmas may be the start of a new era for the actor.
