Refresh your holiday movie watching tradition with these new releases

As Christmas approaches, it’s time to get into the festive spirit with some good old (but new) Christmas movies! Although they tend to be a little corny, sometimes that’s exactly what we need after getting through the last 12 months. With so many new seasonal flicks around now, we’ve sifted through the lot for the more worthwhile titles, whether it has to do with the cast or a unique premise. All of the following movies are available to stream now.

1/6 Falling for Christmas

If the return of Lindsay Lohan isn’t enough reason for you to watch this movie, then we don’t know what is. A Hallmark style Christmas rom-com, Falling for Christmas follows Sierra Belmont (Lindsay Lohan), a spoiled heiress who undergoes a skiing accident right before Christmas. Diagnosed with amnesia, she finds herself in the care of cabin owner Jake (Chord Overstreet) and, exactly as you’d expect, she ends up falling in love with the lodge keeper.

Will an old diary unlock their pasts and hearts?

She decides to surprise him for the holidays, only to find out she’s been catfished.
