Theholiday rom-comLast Christmasdoesn’t hit theaters until November, but fans think they may have already figured out the film’s alleged plot twist.
Thetrailer, released Wednesday, showsGame of ThronesalumEmilia ClarkeandCrazy Rich Asiansleading manHenry Goldinghaving a meet-cute in yuletide-season London. The two continue to bump into each other and eventually develop a close relationship — just in time for Christmas.
However, certain snippets of the trailer have fans wondering if Golding’s character Tom could be more than just a love interest.
Some eagle-eyed viewers noted that Tom only interacts with Clarke’s character Kate and sometimes appears to pop out of nowhere, leading them to infer that he could be a ghost or an angel.
“I’m just saying if you put out a trailer where a prominently featured character only ever speaks to one other character, we all know they’re a ghost,” one Twitter userwrote, while anotheradded, “Trying to find even one moment in the #LastChristmas trailer where Henry Golding interacts with someone OTHER than Emilia Clarke.”

Other social media users pointed to a brief section of the trailer that reveals that Kate once had an illness that almost killed her, wondering if Tom was the organ donor who saved her life. The theory even fits with the lyrics to the movie’s namesake song “Last Christmas,” as one tweeterpointed out— “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart.”
“Emilia Clarke’s character probably got the heart of Henry Golding’s character the previous Xmas and now has visions of him,” another useradded.
Some fan theories also shared similarities with the Christmas classicIt’s a Wonderful Life, where an angel comes down from heaven to help guide the main character through a tough time in his life.
“He literally sounds like he’s guiding her throughout the movie, like her guardian angel,” a Twitter usertheorized.
A few social media users even poked fun at all the theories. “What if the twist inLast Christmasis that both the audience and Emilia Clarke become convinced that Henry Golding is an angel/a ghost/all in her head but actually he’s a real dude who’s just improbably perfect,” onewrote.
The rom-com hits theaters November 8th, just in time for Christmas.
