Lindsay Lohan found return to movie set for ‘Falling for Christmas’ refreshing

Actress Lindsay Lohan had taken a break from acting in recent years and explained it was “refreshingly exciting” to return to movies with festive romcom ‘Falling for Christmas’.

“It’s a great movie. I wanted to make this movie because I missed being on set and I really miss bringing characters to life, and this was just the perfect script full of love and family and romance and joy all in one. I wanted to get to the point where I was craving being on set. It felt really refreshingly exciting,” she said, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The star plays the role of a spoiled hotel heiress who loses her memory in a skiing accident.

Speaking on ‘Good Morning America’, she said, “And it has a great message, which is that you don’t really need all of the material things in life. It’s good to just focus on the simple things, and I really love that.”

As part of the film’s soundtrack, Lohan has recorded a version of ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ and explained that she was “nervous” about performing the song because she hoped fans of ‘Mean Girls’, which features a memorable scene in which she performs the Christmas classic in a high school talent show alongside Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried, would enjoy it just as much.

She said, “I was [nervous] because I haven’t recorded in a long time and felt the pressure of doing it in a way that people who had seen ‘Mean Girls’ would like it the same.”

“’With ‘Mean Girls’, we had the dance behind it and I had all the other girls with me. This was just my voice. So, it was nerve-racking. But the outcome was incredible. I’m really, really happy.”

‘Falling for Christmas’ is available to stream on Netflix now.
