Falling for Christmas is a heartwarming and festive rom-com that brings a fresh touch to the classic holiday movie formula. Released in 2022, the film stars Lindsay Lohan in a charming return to the romantic comedy genre, following a long hiatus from this type of role. Directed by Janeen Damian, the film tells the story of Sierra Belmont (Lohan), a spoiled, self-absorbed heiress who, after a skiing accident, loses her memory and is taken in by a kind-hearted widower, Jake (Chord Overstreet), at his humble family-run lodge during Christmas. Filled with holiday cheer, romantic tension, and the spirit of self-discovery, Falling for Christmas is a sweet and nostalgic Christmas movie that delivers all the warmth and magic we love about the holiday season.
The plot kicks off with Sierra, the privileged daughter of a wealthy businessman, who leads a life filled with luxury and excess. However, after a skiing accident, Sierra is left with amnesia and unable to remember her life as an heiress. With no memory of her identity or her lavish lifestyle, she ends up at a small, cozy lodge run by Jake, a widowed single father who has put his dreams on hold to care for his young daughter, Avy (Olivia Perez). Jake and Sierra’s worlds collide when he takes her in, and she begins to slowly recover her memory, while also experiencing a new life that is far simpler and far more genuine than the one she left behind.
