Falling for Christmas is an upcoming American Christmas romantic comedy film directed by Janeen Damian, in her directorial debut, from a screenplay by Damian, Michael Damian, Jeff Bonnett and Ron Oliver. The film stars Lindsay Lohan and Chord Overstreet. George Young, Jack Wagner and Olivia Perez appear in supporting roles. It marks Lohan's first role in a major production in over a decade following a series of career setbacks while recovering from addiction and legal issues. Brad Krevoy and Michael Damian serve as producers on the film, which was first announced in May 2021 and began production in Utah in November 2021. It is scheduled to be released on November 10, 2022, by Netflix.[1]

Production[]

In May 2021, Netflix announced that Lindsay Lohan would return to acting by starring in a Christmas romantic comedy for the streaming service and revealed its premise.[3] The film's production details were reported by Variety with Janeen Damian set to direct the story written by Damian, Michael Damian, Jeff Bonnett and Ron Oliver. Motion Picture Corporation of America's Brad Krevoy and Riviera Films' Michael Damian would be producing, while Amanda Phillips, Eric Jarboe and David Wulf served as executive producers. It was scheduled to start production in November, so it would be released for the 2022 holiday season.[2][4] In October, Michael Damian confirmed in an interview that filming would begin the following month in Utah, elaborating on the project:[5]

It's a comedy, a lot of really funny moments. We're excited to be working with [Lindsay], she's an incredible talent [...] Netflix approached us, I think we kind of became the go-to Christmas team [... they] said 'we've got a project that we're excited about', that Lindsay was attached to star in it and [asked] 'would you guys be interested in making it?' and we were like, 'yes, we would be thrilled to make it!', and it sort of evolved that way.

In early November, it was announced Chord Overstreet had been cast as Lohan's love interest in the film. George Young, Jack Wagner and Olivia Perez would also appear in undisclosed roles.[6] In the following week, Netflix released a first look of the film, a publicity still featuring Lohan and Overstreet, which was still untitled.[7][8] A production listing then reported principal photography for the film, under the working title Christmas in Wonderland, would take place in Utah, from November 8 to December 15, 2021.[9][10] In February 2022, Netflix released their 2022 movie preview with a video teaser featuring footage from their most anticipated releases which included a clip of Lohan in the film officially titled Falling for Christmas.[11][12][13] That same month, Lohan talked to Vogue about her decision to join the film:[14]

I feel like what we don't have enough of right now is romantic comedies. And that's exactly what it is: It's a really fun, uplifting romantic comedy. And it's actually really funny. When I read the script and when we started to film it, I didn't realize how physically funny we were going to be. There's a lot of physical comedy in it, which I really liked doing—it's one of my favorite things to do, which I haven't got to in a while.

In July 2022, Lohan's mother Dina revealed her daughter Aliana would also be appearing in Falling for Christmas, as well as contributing with two songs. She had previously shared that both siblings would be singing in the film.[15][16][17]
