Here's everything to know about "Falling for Christmas," including details about the literal mountainside fall that Lohan's character experiences in the movie.

In "Falling for Christmas," Lohan plays Sierra, a newly engaged hotel heiress who suffers from total amnesia after she gets into a skiing accident. Speaking to Tudum, Lohan described her character as "extravagant, temperamental (and) glamorous."

While waiting for her memories to return, she finds herself in the care of a handsome lodge owner, played by Chord Overstreet, and his daughter, in the days leading up to Christmas.

In an interview with Netflix Tudum, Lohan said she enjoyed doing her own stunts, including her flying over the mountain.

“All the stunt scenes were really fun for me because I haven’t gotten to do that much in a lot of my films,” she said.

Who else is in the cast of 'Falling for Christmas'?

Of course, "Falling for Christmas" represents Lohan's long-awaited return to screen. The actor, 36, rose to fame as a child star in movies like "The Parent Trap," and then early aughts movies like "Mean Girls," "Freaky Friday" and "Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen." Her last major movie was the 2013 film "The Canyons."

She said getting back into character, even after a near decade-long break, was seamless.

“For me, my whole life, acting is like riding a bicycle. It’s just in me. It’s a part of me. Doing films, playing a character, it brings me so much joy to be able to share a story with people. To take people on that journey with me is such a blessing," she told the Hollywood Reporter.

"Falling for Christmas" also stars Chord Overstreet, known for playing Sam Evans in "Glee," as Lohan's character's love interest Jake; Olivia Perez as Jake's daughter Avy; and "Malignant" star George Young as Sierra's fiancé Tad.
