Since its 2022 arrival, Falling for Christmas has marched back into seasonal relevance with the confidence of a guest who knows the party improves upon entry. Lindsay Lohan, reclaiming the spotlight with practiced poise, adds a theatrical shimmer to a tale built on romance, festive commotion, and amnesia so tidily convenient it feels almost courteous. The film offers precisely the comforting spectacle viewers seek when winter descends with its usual urge for melodrama.

Its resurgence is largely due to Netflix giving the 2022 release prominent holiday placement, where it invites viewers seeking warm, familiar, and delightfully indulgent cheer beginning November 10.  Falling for Christmas embraces classic tropes with such audacity that one might applaud its fearlessness. Joined by Lohan’s bright presence, the film has become an annual ritual, returning each season like that overly sentimental decoration everyone pretends to pack away yet mysteriously finds on display again.
