Netflix shared in a tweet: "Lindsay Lohan will star in a new romantic comedy about a newly engaged and spoiled hotel heiress who finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter after getting total amnesia in a skiing accident."

It comes as the streaming service has become renowned for its Christmas offerings, winning over viewers with film series like The Princess Switch and A Christmas Prince.

Variety reports production will commence in November, with Janeen Damian set to direct. Damian wrote the film alongside Michael Damian, Jeff Bonnett and Ron Oliver.

Lohan found fame aged just 11 when she starred in the dual role of twins Hallie Parker and Annie James in The Parent Trap.
