Lindsay Lohan to star in Netflix Christmas Romantic Comedy

Lindsay Lohan is officially making a comeback to acting after staying out of the spotlight in recent years. Set to make a return as the protagonist in a yet-to-be-titled Netflix Original, the film will be a rom-com surrounding the holidays (similar to Netflix’s other films including “Jingle Jangle,” “A Christmas Prince,” “The Christmas Chronicles” and “The Princess Switch”) and we’re looking forward to it. 

According to Variety, Lohan will play a “newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress” who then gets into a skiing accident, leading to amnesia. She then “finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter in the days leading up to Christmas.” The rest of the cast has not yet been announced.
