2023 It's a Wonderful Lifetime Schedule; Disney+ Details More on Season 2 of The Santa Clauses
The countdown to the holidays is on as Lifetime announces its full movie slate for the network's annual It's a Wonderful Lifetime programming event, kicking off Saturday, November 18 with 12 brand new movies! This year, the nostalgia is strong, and the cozy vibes are high as Lifetime reunites divas past and present for new movies every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas. Some of the slate's highlights include Tia Mowry and Buddy Valastro joining forces as stars and executive producers for Yes, Chef! Christmas with Luke Humphrey. Jana Kramer, Adam Senn and Max Ehrich star in A Cowboy Christmas Romance, written by Sarah Drew, who returns to write her second Lifetime Christmas movie. Tatyana Ali and Jesse Kove star in The Holiday Proposal Plan, Teri Hatcher in Christmas at the Chalet, and Vivica A. Fox and Jackée Harry together in A Christmas Intern. These movies join the previously announced and highly anticipated tent-pole movie Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas, starring Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, and Nicollette Sheridan.
And what are the holidays without great music? This season, the It's a Wonderful Lifetime slate also includes new original music from pop sensation Tiffany (I Think We're Alone Now), performing the Ladies of the '80s theme song, written by Song Writer Hall of Fame's Steve Dorff and Michael Jay, and produced by Steve Dorff. Jackée Harry and Tatyana Ali both perform original songs in their films A Christmas Intern and The Holiday Proposal Plan, respectively and Max Ehrich is on deck for new music entitled All I Want Is You (Big Sky Remix) in A Cowboy Christmas Romance.
