I thought that the plot was easy to follow, although predictable at times, and definitely had a Hallmark Christmas movie vibe to it. I also liked its connection to the other movies in the Netflix Christmas Movie Universe with the A Castle for Christmas Easter egg. Even with its lighthearted nature, Falling for Christmas managed to also tackle some surprisingly emotional themes. The film delved into grief and reminding us of the importance of letting go and embracing new beginnings. This added depth to the story and made the characters feel more relatable.
While the acting was generally decent, the over-the-top makeup and costumes for Lohan, who played Sierra Belmont, in the beginning was a bit over the top. Other than that she shined in her return to the spotlight, leading us on a heartwarming journey of love, loss, and remembering what truly matters during the holidays. She delivered a charming performance, reminding us of her comedic timing and vulnerability that made her a star in the early 2000s. She embodied the transformation from a self-absorbed heiress to a grounded woman with surprising ease. The supporting cast was equally endearing, with Chord Overstreet bringing warmth and humor to the role of the cabin owner.
Overall, Falling for Christmas ticked all the boxes for a classic holiday rom-com, offering a sweet treat that delivers on its promise of holiday cheer. It's a perfect watch for anyone looking for a lighthearted escape into a world of love, laughter, and Christmas magic.
