‘Our Little Secret’, Netflix’s new holiday rom-com just released on November 27, 2024. Christmas is a time of surprises — some good, some… not so much. In ‘Our Little Secret‘, the newest Netflix romantic comedy, Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding take us on a journey where old secrets mix with Christmas lights to create festive chaos. In the end, Logan and Avery decide to give love a second chance and end up engaged, living together in her childhood home, with plans for the future and ready to start over.

What begins as a desperate attempt to avoid conflicts quickly turns into chaos filled with plot twists, humor, and touching moments. Let’s explore the complete ending of this story, full of charm and secrets.

The central plot—ex-lovers at Christmas, what could go wrong?

In the Netflix rom-com, ‘Our Little Secret’, Avery (Lindsay Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding) had been inseparable since childhood and turned a solid friendship into a breathtaking romance. But fate decided to play Grinch—when Avery accepted a job in London, Logan couldn’t handle the distance, and they broke up amid tears and resentment.

Fast forward 10 years, and surprise! They end up at the same Christmas dinner because their new partners, Cam (Jon Rudnitsky) and Cassie (Katie Baker), are siblings. The irony of fate sets the tone of the story—they decide to hide their past to avoid embarrassment, but who says secrets survive Christmas gossip?

Secrets, cookies, and blackmail—chaos begins

The situation was already a minefield, but Avery and Logan made things worse when they decided to help each other. Logan promised to help Avery win the approval of Erica (Kristin Chenoweth), Cam’s mother, while she would help him with a construction proposal. Sounds good, right? Wrong.

The least of their problems was Callum (Jake Brennan), the younger brother, overhearing a compromising conversation and threatening to tell everything. Blackmail involving stolen cookies and wrongly exchanged gifts leads to comedic moments, but it’s Logan who ends up getting caught—by his grandmother, who recognizes Avery during a gift exchange. If there’s one thing grandmas know, it’s how to spot drama from afar.

The climax—when one secret reveals another (and another…)

When Avery and Logan’s secret comes out, it’s not just Christmas that melts like snow in the sun. Amid the chaos, other family secrets explode—Leonard (Dan Bucatinsky), Cam and Cassie’s father, is having an affair with Margaret (Judy Reyes), Sophie’s (Ash Santos) mother. Erica knew but was fine with it because, in her words, “he was happier and I saw him less”. Pragmatism, thy name is Erica.

The confusion only grows, with Cam discovering he still has feelings for Sophie, Cassie dealing with her parents’ betrayal, and Callum thinking this was, without a doubt, “the best Christmas party ever”. Because, well, for him, watching the mess was like winning the Oscar for Best Spectator.

Logan and Avery’s ending—second chances and a house full of history

Despite all the secrets, Logan and Avery quickly realized they were still the perfect match—even after years apart and with past wounds still healing. Avery, who always wanted to reclaim her family home, discovers that running from the past doesn’t make her happy. Logan, in turn, proves he’s ready to be the partner she deserves, supporting her dreams instead of fighting against them.

‘Our Little Secret’ ends with a one-year jump, where they are engaged, living in Avery’s childhood home and planning a future together. Oh, and the wedding? An animated sequence shows the ceremony because nothing screams Netflix vibes like a stylish and optimistic ending.

The fate of other characters—Erica found “Love”, Callum follows the chaos

‘Our Little Secret’ isn’t just about romantic endings. Erica finally decides to follow her heart—or, at least, Stan and his comfortable car—, trading cynicism for a genuine smile. Leonard and Margaret continue their affair because who cares about subtleties when Christmas has already turned into a reality show?

Meanwhile, Callum is too busy laughing about everything to worry about his troubles, but it’s clear he and Sophie still have something to resolve. Cassie, on the other hand, might need a few therapy seasons before returning to the romantic scene.

Our Little Secret—an unexpected Christmas gift

More than a simple romantic comedy, ‘Our Little Secret’ is an ode to second chances, (eventual) honesty, and the importance of facing the past to build a future. With sharp dialogues, amusingly imperfect characters, and soap opera-worthy plot twists, the movie, ‘Our Little Secret’, delivers the perfect balance between Christmas chaos and romance. After all, who needs a quiet Christmas when you can have one full of revelations, laughter, and a dose of sugar at the end?
