November 30 – The Lifetime movie Merry Liddle Christmas will debut at 8 PM

MOVIE SYNOPSIS: Inspired by her own recent Christmas catastrophe, Kelly Rowland plays Jacquie, a successful, super-together single tech entrepreneur whose messy family descends on her gleaming new dream home for the holidays. Christmas traditions collide and family drama ensues as she struggles to keep her house together in time for a glossy video shoot of “the perfect Christmas.” On top of that, the possibility of romance with a new neighbor has Jacquie questioning all her dating rules, so even though this isn’t the Christmas she envisioned, it might just be the most magical one yet. The cast includes Thomas Cadrot and Debbi Morgan.

Mark your calendars.
