Halloween may still be six weeks away, but Lifetime is already getting in the holiday spirit. The network has unveiled the complete lineup for its annual “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” programming event, and it’s sure to get you in the holiday spirit. New movies begin airing Oct. 23 and continue through Dec. 20.
Lifetime to air its first Christmas movie with LGBTQ leads
2020 is a year of first for Lifetime Christmas movies, with several new films showcasing diverse storylines and inclusive casts. This year, the network will break new ground by airing a holiday film focused on an LGBTQ couple. The Christmas Setup will star real-life married couple Ben Lewis and Blake Lee as old high school friends who reconnect years after graduation.
Also on deck are A Sugar and Spice Holiday, the first Lifetime holiday movie featuring a Chinese-American family; Christmas Ever After, the network’s first movie starring a lead actor with a disability (Tony Award-winner Ali Stroker); and A Welcome Home Christmas, its first movie focused on a veteran.
