Director: Stephen Herek
Nobody plans to spend Christmas across the table from their ex, and Our Little Secret builds its entire holiday comedy out of two people who end up doing exactly that.
What is Our Little Secret about?
Avery and Logan haven't spoken since their breakup, so it's an unwelcome surprise when they realize, days before Christmas, that their new partners are actually siblings — which means a shared family gathering is unavoidable. Rather than admit the awkward history and risk upending the holiday for everyone else, the pair agree to keep their past quiet and get through the visit as polite strangers. Naturally, close quarters, nosy relatives, and old habits make the secret much harder to keep than either of them expected, and the lie starts pulling at threads neither of them meant to touch. The film treats the setup as a classic seasonal farce, mining the tension between wanting to move on and being trapped, quite literally, under the same roof as the person you haven't fully moved on from.
Cast & crew
Lindsay Lohan leads as Avery opposite Ian Harding's Logan, with Kristin Chenoweth, Jon Rudnitsky, Dan Bucatinsky, Jake Brennan, Judy Reyes, and Katie Baker rounding out the extended, increasingly suspicious family gathered for the holiday.
Context & significance
Directed by Stephen Herek, Our Little Secret (2024) is a 99-minute holiday romantic comedy from the United States, part of a long-running tradition of Christmas-set films that use forced proximity between exes to power a season-appropriate mix of humor and heart. It leans into the genre's familiar comfort — a big family house, a snowy backdrop, and a secret that everyone in the audience can see coming long before the characters do.
