Netflix’s Popular New Christmas Movie Is A Terrific Reminder To Watch Reese Witherspoon’s $164M Holiday Comedy From 16 Years Ago

Our Little Secret is a reminder to watch another Kristin Chenoweth Christmas film that hits some of the same notes. Netflix’s latest festive comedy follows two resentful exes who are forced to spend Christmas together after realizing that their current partners are brother and sister. It’s a fun, lighthearted story that explores how different people celebrate the holiday season, and how the magic of Christmas can spark romance in the most unexpected of places. Our Little Secret stars Lindsay Lohan and Kirsitn Chenoweth in two of their most entertaining roles in recent memory.

When it comes to great Christmas comedies, Netflix has essentially monopolized the genre over the past few years. Every festive season, the streaming giant comes out with a new big-budget romcom that pulls some recognizable faces together and gathers huge viewership numbers. While Our Little Secret has dropped to fairly mixed reviews, it’s certainly very reminiscent of all the nostalgic movies that came before it, particularly another Christmas classic with Kristin Chenoweth in a starring role.

Four Christmases Is Another Family Chaos-Centered Kristin Chenoweth Christmas Movie To Watch After Our Little Secret

The 2008 Classic Is The Gold Standard Of Christmas Comedies

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon in Four Christmases

Four Christmases is a hilarious Christmas romcom from 2008, whose ensemble cast and sharp script quickly made it one of the most beloved in its subgenre. The story follows Brad and Kate, played by Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon respectively, whose parents’ broken marriages have completely deterred them from the idea of having a wedding. However, their domestic bliss is upturned during the festive season when they decide to go abroad to avoid their chaotic family lives.

Four Christmases also stars Kristin Chenoweth in a supporting role, alongside veteran actors such as Tim McGraw and John Favreau – and it’s this hilarious ensemble that allows the film to shine. While the central romance is compelling, it’s the supporting characters who steal the show in Four Christmases with their hilariously muddled ideas of what Christmas should be, and how to make everybody else celebrate the holidays they want. While Vince Vaughn’s dramatic work is admittedly underrated, these kinds of goofy comedies are some of his best work.

Kristin Chenoweth’s Our Little Secret Role Is Very Different From Her Four Christmases Character

The Actress Has Played Two Completely Different Characters In Christmas Movies

Although Chenoweth has roles in both Four Christmases and Our Little Secret, her respective roles couldn’t be more different. The actress plays Reese Witherspoon’s sister in Four Christmases, a very sympathetic character who understands the protagonist’s frustration with the holiday season and helps her see the light in it. In Our Little Secret, however, her character Erica is very hard to like given how mean and harsh she acts toward Lohan’s protagonist Avery.
