Lindsay Lohan is set to make her long-awaited return to acting with a Netflix Christmas rom-com.

The actor has been cast as the lead in the forthcoming film, which will see her play a newly-engaged, spoiled hotel heiress. According to Netflix, the plot will follow Lohan’s character as she “finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter after getting total amnesia in a skiing accident”.

Currently untitled, the holiday movie was written by Jeff Bonnett, Ron Oliver, Michael Damian, and Janeen Damian, the latter of whom will also direct. The film will be produced by MPCA, which has produced several Netflix Christmas films, including 2018’s The Princess Switch starring Vanessa Hudgens.

The project will mark Lohan’s first feature film since the 2019 horror thriller, Among the Shadows. Lohan is, of course, most renowned for her earlier movies, including The Parent Trap (1998), Freaky Friday (2003), Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), and Mean Girls (2004).

Stay tuned for more details of the forthcoming film, and, in the meantime, look back at Lohan and the cast of Mean Girls’ reunion via Zoom last year here.
