Lifetime reveals its full Christmas 2024 movie lineup — including Taylor Swift-inspired Christmas in the Spotlight

Lifetime is TV's home for all things thriller, but lately, they've been giving Hallmark a run for their money with their annual "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" holiday movie slate.

In past years, they've tapped stars like Kelly Rowland, Melissa Joan Hart, Molly Ringwald, and Kristen Chenoweth to lead delightfully frothy romcoms full of hot cocoa, sleigh rides, and meet cutes. This year, the lineup of stars shines brighter than ever, and there's something across the 12 new films for everyone.

The first of this year's two banner films is We Three Kings, starring and executive produced by six-time Grammy Award-winning singer BeBe Winans. We Three Kings follows a father's (Winans) attempts to reunite with his estranged daughters (among them, Winans' niece Deborah Joy Winans) around the holidays.

The second is The Holiday Junkie, about party planner Andie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) who must carry on the mantle of "Holiday Junkie" after her Christmas-obsessed mother passes away. The film was also directed by Hewitt, based on a story written by her, was executive produced by her, and features a song that she composed and performs. If it's even half as good as The Client List, Hewitt's iconic financial crash epic for Lifetime from 2010, it'll be a must-see.

The rest of the slate includes stars like Tia Mowry, Maria Menounos, Jackée Harry, Vivica A. Fox, Teri Hatcher, Romeo Miller, Jeannie Mai, and Sasha Pieterse. In addition to these 12 films, Lifetime will feature special holiday-themed playlists, available through the entire season. 100 past titles will be available to stream on the Lifetime website, app, and on VOD. All new films premiere the day after on TVE/VOD and the Lifetime Movie Club.
