Christmas Everyday

Matt Roush says...

The Yule Log: Lifetime joins the yuletide onslaught of new holiday movies with a Saturday double feature. In Christmas Everyday (8/7c), which is pretty much how it feels anymore, Brandy Norwood stars as Fancy, who’s trying to keep the family Christmas traditions intact after the death of her father, and becomes attracted to the contractor (Robert C. Riley) who helps repair the burst water pipe that disrupts her sister’s wedding plans. Followed by The Christmas Campaign (10/9c), starring Vivica A. Fox as a boss lady who teams mismatched digital ad execs Kayleigh (Chelsea Rose Brooks) and Darren (Austen Jaye) on a campaign for their client Santa’s Pajamas, with competition erupting alongside romance.

Hallmark Channel delivers two double features this weekend. Saturday’s movies are An Alpine Holiday (6/5c), starring Ashley Williams and Laci Malley as estranged sisters in the French Alps, and A Grand Ole Opry Christmas (8/7c), with Nikki DeLoach and Kristoffer Polaha transported back in time 30 years to happier times in the iconic Nashville venue. On Sunday, The Christmas Cup (6/5c) features Rhiannon Fish as Marine Staff Sergeant Kelly, who returns home with a knee injury and sparks romance with a fire captain (Ben Rosenbaum). Followed by Christmas at the Catnip Café (8/7c), where a marketing exec (Erin Cahill) inherits half of a small-town cat café that she intends to sell, although the veterinarian (Paul Campbell) who owns the other half begs to differ.

More Christmas choices: OWN‘s Fake Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Saturday, 9/8c) features Kiki Layne in a romcom triangle in which she is mistaken as the girlfriend of an unconscious patient being treated by her ex (Etienne Maurice). UPtv offers The Christmas Checklist (Saturday, 7/6c), about a grieving daughter (Sarah Power) with a Christmas deadline to complete a checklist of 12 activities left behind by her mother; and A Christmas in Amish Country (Sunday, 7/6c), about a chef who returns to her Pennsylvania Amish roots to rekindle her affection for slow cooking and a slow-burning romance with an Amish farmer (Jason Tobias). Or you could go to the movie theater to see the release of a Great American Family original, Another Sweet Christmas, in select theaters from Sunday through Tuesday, starring Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison in a continuation of the love story that began in 2024’s top-rated Home Sweet Christmas.
