Lifetime has been increasing their Christmas cheer little by little each year, and it looks like they’re officially hit peak holiday spirit because we’ll be getting non-stop festive programming this year…starting in October!

The network’s annual holiday programming slate, It’s A Wonderful Lifetime, which usually doesn’t begin until after Thanksgiving, will kick off on October 25 and run through December 25 – aka – Christmas Day with a record-setting 28 original movies. You’ll also be able to enjoy those premieres plus old favorites 24-hours a day, seven-days-a-week, throughout the season.

Lifetime has released information on 6 out of the 28 original films — including another movie featuring a mini-“One Tree Hill” reunion, which was a hit last year, as well as more fan-favorites: Melissa Joan Hart, Tia Mowry-Hardict, Marie Osmond and Keisha Knight Pulliam, for starters.

Last month I told you about Hilarie Burton reuniting, once again, with her former “One Tree Hill” costar Tyler Hilton and his real life wife Megan Park for another Lifetime Christmas movie called “A Christmas Wish”, and now I’m happy to now report that, just like last year, several former OTH cast members have jumped aboard the project, which creates another exciting mini reunion project.

Antwon Tanner, who played Antwon ‘Skills’ Taylor on the long-running drama, and co-starred in last year’s “The Christmas Contract”, has joined the film as well as Lee Norris, Barbara Alyn Woods, and Colin Fickes who starred as Marvin ‘Mouth’ McFadden, Deb Scott and Jimmy Edwards on ‘Tree Hill’, respectively.  I sure hope this is becoming a holiday tradition for this tight-knit crew!

I love Christmas surprises in May, especially when it’s as fun as this one!

Hilarie Burton revealed on her Instagram yesterday that she’s working on another Christmas movie for the Lifetime network, titled “A Christmas Wish”, with her friends Tyler Hilton and Megan Park.

It’s actually another mini “One Tree Hill” reunion; Burton and Hilton starred as Peyton Sawyer and Chris Keller, respectively, on the former long-running hit drama. Last year the two co-starred in Lifetime’s “The Christmas Contract”, which featured many more of their former OTH co-stars.

It was quite the holiday treat!

As one of the highly anticipated movies (oh, hello mini “One Tree Hill” cast reunion!) of the holiday season, Lifetime’s “The Christmas Contract” did not disappoint. Hilarie Burton leads the film as Jolie, who returns home to Louisiana for Christmas with a faux boyfriend (Robert Buckley) after learning that her ex and his new girlfriend will also be back home for the holiday.

In one of the first scenes, we see Jolie throwing a holiday party with her friends where she’s dressed in a lovely emerald ALYX Satin Ruffled Blouse. Sadly, this top is sold out.

It was quite the treat to see a few of the original “One Tree Hill” cast members reunite on NBC’s “Kathie Lee & Hoda TODAY” this morning to talk about their new Lifetime movie, “The Christmas Contract” — aka — an ultimate Tree Hill reunion holiday film that every OTH fan didn’t know they needed until now.

Hilarie Burton, Danneel Ackles and Antwon Tanner sat down with Kathie Lee Gifford & Hoda Kotb to discuss the new movie and how they’ve remained close friends.

Watch the interview below!

Stay merry!

The Lifetime network is going to be a very special place for fans of the hit television series “One Tree Hill” this holiday season! The long-running series had its finale in 2012, but clearly it’s the show that keeps giving even long after its ended and, this year, its former stars are spreading some yuletide cheer! Not only will five cast members reunite for “The Christmas Contract” airing on Thanksgiving, but their former co-star Bethany Joy Lenz will premiere her movie “Poinsettias for Christmas” the following night along with another OTH-er, Sharon Lawrence!

More ‘OTH family’ members, as fans of the show refer to them, Stephen Colletti (“Hometown Christmas”), Daphne Zuniga (“A Christmas Arrangement”), and Shantel VanSanten (“Love for Christmas”) will also have movies part of the “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” holiday programming.

Musician Tyler Hilton, who appeared in four seasons of the hit CW drama series, will also have a musical appearance in the movie.
