Cast and Characters

Lindsay Lohan headshot
Lindsay Lohan
as Avery
Lohan returns to the Netflix Christmas pipeline she opened with Falling for Christmas, this time as Avery — a woman ambushed by her own past in a house full of tinsel. The casting works because Lohan plays defensiveness as comedy: the look she gives Logan across the dinner table is the engine of the first hour, and her timing has aged into something dryer and more grown-up than her early-2000s rom-com register.
Ian Harding headshot
Ian Harding
as Logan
Harding brings the same boyish-but-decent register he carried through seven seasons of Pretty Little Liars, and the film leans on it: Logan has to be charming enough that Avery dated him for years and steady enough that Cassie is bringing him home to meet her parents. The unglamorous middle-distance work — half-smiles across the kitchen, eyes that stop just short of giving the secret away — is where the performance lives.
Kristin Chenoweth headshot
Kristin Chenoweth
as Erica
Chenoweth is the film's escalating engine: as Cameron and Cassie's mother Erica, she stages Christmas as a competitive event in which her children's partners are being audited in real time. She plays each forced game-night activity at the volume of a Broadway opener, and the contrast with the secret Avery and Logan are trying to keep is what most of the comedy is doing. The casting is the film's biggest asset.
Jon Rudnitsky headshot
Jon Rudnitsky
as Cameron
Rudnitsky, an SNL alum, plays Avery's current boyfriend Cameron with the gentle obliviousness the part requires — the new partner who has no idea that the man across the table used to know his girlfriend in every way he is now learning her. The trick is to make Cameron sympathetic rather than a punchline, and Rudnitsky pitches the performance low enough that the audience does not start rooting against him.
Dan Bucatinsky headshot
Dan Bucatinsky
as Leonard
Bucatinsky plays the patient father Leonard as the calm centre of an otherwise frantic household — the spouse who has weathered three decades of Erica's Christmas pageantry and knows exactly when to top up a wine glass and step out of the room. The performance gives the family scenes a load-bearing adult, which is what keeps the comedy from tipping into pure sitcom.
Jake Brennan headshot
Jake Brennan
as Callum
Brennan rounds out the family ensemble as Callum, the kind of supporting younger-sibling figure the genre uses to puncture the central couples whenever they get too earnest. The role is small but functional: he is the one most likely to clock the strange energy between Avery and Logan and ask the question nobody wants asked at the dinner table.
