Lindsay Lohan is set to return to the screen.
The actress, who has only had limited acting roles for several years now, is set to star in a romantic comedy Christmas movie for Netflix, a rep for the star confirmed to Fox News.
According to a tweet from Netflix confirming the project, Lohan, 34, will play a "newly-engaged spoiled hotel heiress," who suffers from amnesia after a skiing accident.
The heiress finds herself being cared for by the good-looking, blue-collar lodge owner and his daughter in the days before Christmas.
No additional casting or release date has been set, though production will not begin until November, so it will be released in late 2022 at the earliest.

The movie will be directed by Janeen Damian, who also co-wrote the script with Michael Damian, Jeff Bonnett and Ron Oliver.
The film’s producers are MPCA’s Brad Krevoy and Riviera Films’ Michael Damian, while Amanda Phillips and Eric Jarboe will executive produce.
Lohan has been famous since she was a child, starring in remakes of "Parent Trap" and "Freaky Friday." The hit comedy "Mean Girls" – set for its own musical remake – also helped cement Lohan as Hollywood royalty.
