"The world is basically a dumpster fire at the moment, so I'm taking solace in the unreality of the happiest season's most festive – and bewilderingly extra – romcoms," says Kayleigh. "There have been some humdingers so far, from Hot Frosty (yes, the one with the sexy snowman) to Christina Milian's Meet Me Next Christmas. However, the cherry on top of the cake – or the sprig of holly perched atop the Christmas pud, if you prefer – is Our Little Secret.
"Starring none other than Lindsay Lohan, this one sees two resentful exes forced to spend the holidays together when they discover their significant others are siblings. Which means, yes, it ticks off all the tropes we need at this time of year: enemies to lovers. Slow-burn romance. Miscommunication. Sexy secrets. More festive knits and coordinated coats than any one person could feasibly fit in a weekend bag. It's got it all.
"You get the picture. It's a snow-covered fever dream of a love story. And, sure, it's lacking in magical scarves and snowmen-turned-himbos, but it boasts the acting talents of Wicked OG Kristin Chenoweth. There's a sprinkling of Saturday Night Live stars in the mix, too, which means laughs aplenty. And yes, Pretty Little Liars fans, that is Ezra Fitz (aka Ian Harding) – good eye.
"It's light fare that's all too easy to gobble up, basically… not unlike a slice of yule log or a generous portion of trifle. It's been designed to warm the cockles of our hearts when the world is grey and bleak. And it's basically all anyone's going to be talking about for the next few weeks, so it's best to embrace it so you can join in the watercooler chat. It's bound to be more fun than making conversation about the weather, right?" Watch on Netflix from Wednesday 27 November
