Falling For Christmas Could Be Lindsay Lohan’s Comeback Role
While Lohan struggled to achieve the same movie star status she had in the 2000s, Fall for Christmas would be the perfect opportunity for her comeback. Since Netflix is ​​still the #1 streaming platform in the world, it offers limitless opportunities to promote Lohan’s great return to millions of Americans, all from the comfort of their homes. Launching her return to acting into the streaming world seems less risky than a theater debut. Plus, the holiday season brings families together around the fireplace to watch a movie or two, and Netflix’s Christmas content has historically garnered favorable audiences.
However, a place in Netflix’s Christmas lineup is no guarantee of success. The quality of Fall for Christmas will affect how the public sees Lohan’s comeback. While Netflix has succeeded in the past with movies like A Christmas Prince, The Christmas Chronicles and The princess switch, not every holiday film is equally well received. Still, Lohan’s inclusion should be enough to bring in viewers, and from these first few glimpses, it seems Netflix is ​​following a similar formula to its previous holiday triumphs to ensure Lohan’s return is a success. Only time will tell, but hopefully fans will be happy when Fall for Christmas appears on Netflix on November 10.
