Holiday darlings Vivica A. Fox, Brandy Norwood, Loretta Devine, and Jackée Harry, alongside newcomer and Entertainment Tonight host Nischelle Turner, lead a lineup that promises love, laughter, and a touch of Christmas magic.

Get ready to deck the halls, run a Christmas campaign, and maybe even catch a runaway bride, because the holiday season starts now on Lifetime. 


Christmas Everyday

Premieres November 29 at 8 p.m.
Starring: Brandy Norwood, Sy’rai Smith, Debbi Morgan, Robert C. Riley, and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman

After losing her father, Fancy (Brandy Norwood) is determined to keep his beloved Christmas traditions alive. Her mother Evelyn (Debbi Morgan) is slowly losing her sight, and her younger sister Belle (Sy’rai Smith) is in full bridezilla mode while planning her dream wedding. When a burst pipe threatens to ruin everything, Fancy calls on Jaylen (Robert C. Riley), a rugged yet kindhearted contractor, to save the day.

Starring: Loretta Devine, Naika Toussaint, and Jamie M. Callica

When Zoe (Naika Toussaint), a Bay Area tech executive, returns home to Chicago, she discovers her grandmother Agnes (Loretta Devine) has swapped old traditions for new adventures — including canceling the cherished holiday party her late husband started. Missing the warmth of Christmas past, Zoe teams up with her childhood crush Jace (Jamie M. Callica) and their 5th Floor neighbors to bring the celebration back.

As sparks fly and last-minute surprises threaten to derail their plans, Agnes reminds them that the heart of Christmas is never lost. Together, they rediscover the joy of community, love, and the power of keeping tradition alive in a new way.
