Mom’s Christmas Boyfriend

Matt Roush says...

The Yule Log: Depending on your tastes, you could either just put the video Yule Log (available many places) on your TV screen or have one last wallow in heartwarming new movies. On Lifetime, Mom’s Christmas Boyfriend (Saturday, 8/7c) is what 10-year-old Lily (Ai Barrett) puts at the top of her wish list in a writing contest. Will her single mom (Jeananne Goossen) find “the one?” Great American Family offers A Royal Christmas Holiday (Saturday, 8/7c) when a reporter (Brittany Underwood) scores a scoop, and probably more, with the visiting Prince Johnathan (Jonathan Stoddard) of Visaria. OWN gets a shade more dramatic with Christmas Revisited (Saturday, 9/8c) when a group of thirtysomethings gathers at a mountain cabin where, in the tradition of The Big Chill, old resentments, secrets, and second chances come into play. UPtv’s A Christmas Letter (Sunday, 7/6c) brings together a woman struggling to keep her foster-care home afloat and a friendly new postman. Those inclined towards holiday music might prefer to spend Christmas with The Chosen: Holy Night (Saturday, 8/7c), featuring the historical drama’s stars Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene) and Vanessa Benavente (Mary) and a special performance by Andrea Bocelli and his son, Matteo.
