AceShowbiz - Lindsay Lohan loves returning to a movie set. Enjoying massive success in the early 2000s with starring roles in comedies such as "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls", the 36-year-old actress has taken a break from acting in recent years and explains 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.
The "Just My Luck" star went on to add that "Falling for Christmas" - in which she plays the role of a spoiled hotel heiress who loses her memory in a skiing accident - has a "great message" which she loved being able to bring to the screen.
Speaking on "Good Morning America", she added, "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, Lindsay 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.
