After Falling for Christmas, Lindsay Lohan is back for another festive rom-com titled Our Little Secret, making her the new holiday movie queen in our book.
The story kicks off when Avery accompanies her boyfriend Cameron (Jon Rudnitsky) to meet his family for the holidays. However, things take a chaotic turn when Avery discovers that Cameron’s sister Cassie (Katie Baker) is dating Logan (Ian Harding) — her ex-boyfriend.
Forced to spend Christmas under the same roof, Avery and Logan are thrust into a series of comical situations that challenge them to confront their unresolved feelings. While the bickering exes try to navigate their shared past, they must also juggle family expectations, holiday traditions, and their current relationships.

A year later, Layla decides to pursue her promise with James. However, she has to search for tickets to the sold-out Pentatonix Christmas Eve concert. This leads her to Teddy (Devale Ellis), a professional concierge, and a deeper connection starts to grow between them.
