Lifetime has set its 2021 holiday movie slate, which will see 35 films rollout this season, including the channel’s first-ever project with a lesbian couple as the focus.
Here’s the official description for the “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” movie, titled, “Under the Christmas Tree”:
Marketing whiz Alma Beltran (Elise Bauman) and Christmas tree whisperer Charlie Freemont (Tattiawna Jones) cross paths when Charlie finds the perfect tree for the Maine Governor’s Holiday Celebration – right in Alma’s back yard. While they initially spar, romantic sparks soon begin to fly between the two women as the enchanting tree and some Christmas fairy dust from the town’s pâtissière extraordinaire (Ricki Lake) bring out the best in them and spark each other to take leaps of faith and fight for love and Christmas magic.
Aside from that movie, which will debut Dec. 19 at 8/7c on Lifetime, projects on the channel’s holiday slate include films starring Reba McEntire, Melissa Joan Hart, Mario Lopez, Kelly Rowland, Tia Mowry and more celebs.
