It’s that time again; twinkling lights, hot cocoa, and a blizzard of holiday movies we’ll absolutely try to watch (even if our watchlist says otherwise). Lifetime just dropped its 2025 “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” lineup, and yep, it’s loaded. We’re talking 12 brand-new movies airing Friday and Saturday nights starting November 29, according to People. Plus, there’s also a Holiday thriller airing over on the sister network, LMN, for anyone who likes their eggnog with a side of suspense.
And because Lifetime knows the audience, they’re also serving up 100 holiday classics to stream on their site and app. Each of the new films will also be on the network’s video-on-demand platforms the day after release. (Because who doesn’t love a little next-day rewatch?)
From family reunions and rekindled romances to small-town chaos and mistletoe miracles, this year’s lineup looks extra merry. While we don’t know much (i.e. trailers, photos, and announcements haven’t appeared for everything yet), here’s what we do know.
‘Christmas Everyday’ – November 29 at 8pm ET
Brandy Norwood stars as Fancy, a woman determined to keep her late father’s Christmas traditions alive while juggling her sister’s wedding madness. Throw in family drama, a busted water pipe, and one very charming contractor (Robert C. Riley), and you’ve got a recipe for heart, humor, and holiday magic. Also starring Sy’rai Smith and Debbi Morgan… bring tissues.
‘The Christmas Campaign’ – November 29 at 10pm ET
Vivica A. Fox, Jackée Harry, Chelsea Rose Brooks, and Austen Jaye headline this workplace rom-com with holiday sparkle. Two ad execs (one creative, one competitive) get forced into a Christmas campaign together, and you can guess what happens next. Think toy drives, family dinners, and a rivalry that turns very flirty.
‘Do You Fear What I Fear’ – December 4 at 8pm ET, LMN
A Christmas thriller? Yep, you read that right. Ciara Hanna plays Claire, whose festive apartment turns sinister when creepy decorations start showing up with cryptic messages. As she searches for her “Secret Santa,” things get darker; and fast. Josh Henderson co-stars in this seasonal scare-fest.
‘Jingle All the Way to Love’ – December 5 at 8pm ET
Lawyer Andi Kelton (Erin Agostino) wins a radio contest that helps her find her long-lost New Year’s Eve mystery man… cue the romantic chaos. Romaine Waite joins her for this cozy, missed-connection love story full of sleigh bells and second chances.
‘A Christmas Cookbook’ – December 5 at 10pm ET
Ashley Newbrough and Franco Lo Presti star in a foodie rom-com where one newly single woman stirs up love in her local cooking club. It’s got good food, good company, and enough sugar to power Santa’s sleigh.
‘Deck the Hallways’ – December 6 at 8pm ET
Loretta Devine, Naika Toussaint, and Jamie M. Callica deliver heart and holiday nostalgia in this family-centered story. Zoe heads back home to Chicago to help her adventurous grandma reignite the neighborhood’s Christmas celebration; and maybe her own holiday spirit.
‘Merry Missed Connection’ – December 6 at 10pm ET
Emily Alatalo stars as a woman whose lost diary leads to a holiday meet-cute straight out of a rom-com. Andrew Bushell co-stars as the maybe-soulmate who helps her find her way back to love (and herself).
‘A Runaway Bride for Christmas (wt)’ – December 12 at 8pm ET
Nischelle Turner and Mark Ghanimé lead this festive redemption arc. When Emma ditches her wedding and heads home, she reconnects with her high school crush. But when her ex shows up, it’s decision time… heartbreak or happily ever after?
‘Christmas in Alaska’ – December 12 at 10pm ET
Emma Johnson and Marcus Rosner play rival journalists stranded in Alaska after an emergency landing. Between snowstorms, headline battles, and holiday chaos, love might just sneak into the story.
‘Thank God: Christmas at Keller Ranch’ – December 13 at 8pm ET
Executive produced by Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown, this one’s full of country charm and cozy feels. Arielle Kebbel and Tyler Hilton star in a Nashville-set love story about healing, hope, and second chances after a career-ending injury. Grab the tissues; and maybe a cowboy hat.
This film was inspired by the song “Thank God” seen below:
‘Rodeo Christmas Romance’ – December 13 at 10pm ET
Rebecca Dalton and Corey Sevier bring all the small-town cowboy energy. When an equestrian caring for her injured horse crosses paths with a brooding veteran, sparks fly… and not just from the fireplace.
‘Sweet Holiday Romance’ – December 19 at 8pm ET
Pastry chef Amanda (Erin Karpluk) teams up with a clueless fudge shop owner (Christopher Russell) to reclaim her “cookie crown.” Expect sugar, sass, and enough Christmas spirit to fill a bakery case.
‘A Pickleball Christmas’ – December 20 at 8pm ET
Zibby Allen and James Lafferty (yes, of “One Tree Hill” fame) close out the lineup with a love story that’s part rom-com, part rivalry. When a tennis pro returns home to save his family’s racquet club, he finds new passion (and love) on the pickleball court.
With cozy nostalgia, a dash of chaos, and a whole lot of love, Lifetime’s 2025 holiday lineup proves one thing: Christmas isn’t Christmas without at least one cheesy over-the-top love story under the tree.
Stay tuned to Lifetime for more details on each film as it gets closer to their release dates… and yes, we’re hoping for trailers too!
