You all know how much I love Christmas movie news, and today was quite the day for announcements! In addition to CBS’ news of original films, Lifetime gave us another sneak peek of what you can expect during their annual It’s A Wonderful Lifetime programming slate, which kicks off this fall.

Lifetime Television has been a fan-favorite for cast reunions over the past few years; we’ve seen some iconic cast mates reunited in heartwarming holiday tales, including stars from The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister and One Tree Hill — and this Christmas, we will get even more.

High School Musical alums Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman will team up once again for A Christmas Dance Reunion. The movie is directed by Brian Herzlinger, who also serves as a writer alongside wife Megan Henry Herzlinger.

It's A Wonderful Lifetime 2021 - A Christmas Dance Reunion Lifetime

A CHRISTMAS DANCE REUNION
Successful attorney Lucy Mortimer (Coleman), along with her mother Virginia (Kim Roberts) return to the Winterleigh Resort to help celebrate the hotel’s final Christmas season before the resort closes its doors permanently. Once there, Lucy is reunited with the owner’s nephew and her childhood Christmas Dance partner, Barrett Brewster (Bleu). Though the resort has fallen on hard times and has stopped most holiday events, Lucy leads the charge in recreating the beloved Christmas traditions, including the popular Christmas Dance, to bring together new families and new hope to the resort. Now, Lucy must decide if she’s willing to take a risk on love and partner up once more with Barrett for what could be the last Christmas Dance.

Marla Sokoloff steps in to direct Blending Christmas starring Haylie Duff, Aaron O’Connell, Beth Broderick, Telma Hopkins and Greg Evigan from a script by Peter Sullivan and Adam Rockoff.

This movie will reunite The Brady Bunch actors, from the show and film, Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen, Jennifer Elise Cox and Robbie Rist.

BLENDING CHRISTMAS
The holiday season is in full swing when Emma (Duff) learns that the resort where she used to spend Christmases with her family is being redeveloped. Her boyfriend Liam (O’Connell), hatches a plan to bring her to the resort one last time to propose! He secretly invites both their families to join them and Emma is delighted when she arrives to find the whole family bunch there. Of course, no holiday gathering is complete without drama, and soon the families are bickering over every detail! The added stress from trying to blend the two families eventually takes a toll on Emma and Liam, who start questioning their own relationship. Now just days before Christmas, the two families realize that they’re going to have to work together in order to reunite Emma and Liam!

This holiday season, you can also expect Lifetime movies starring Reba McEntire (Read more about Christmas in Tune here!), Kelly Rowland (Merry Liddle Christmas Baby), Melissa Joan Hart (Mistletoe in Montana), Mario Lopez (Christmas in Santa Fe), and Jana Kramer (The Christmas Fix). More information about these films will come out later, so keep checking back.
