Christmas isn’t so much a holiday as it is a state of mind. Pop on a cozy, made-for-TV holiday movie and it can feel like December 25 at any time! That’s the mindset you gotta have to prepare for Lifetime’s 2020 slate of Christmas movies—which make their debut a week before Halloween! Mix some holly jolly into your spooky ooky and have a blast, y’all!
In fact, the It’s a Wonderful Lifetime movie season even starts a day before Hallmark launches its 2020 Countdown to Christmas. New Lifetime movies will bring some joy to the world beginning on Friday, October 23 at 8 p.m. ET. Get ready!
This year’s movies are particularly nice, which is a relief after this naughty year. Beloved holiday stars like Melissa Joan Hart, Kelly Rowland, and Mario Lopez are back in starring roles; Fran Drescher appears in Lifetime’s first ever gay Christmas romcom (!); and Tiffany Haddish executive produced a holiday film starring Amber Stevens West! What a lovely bunch of gifts!
So, which movies will air on which night? Here’s the complete Lifetime Christmas movie lineup for 2020. Start making your watchlist and checking it twice!
