Christmas a la Mode is Born in Lifetime’s Latest Holiday Flick

By  | 

The next It’s A Wonderful Lifetime holiday movie Christmas a la Mode will debut on Lifetime today, November 15.

Since her father passed away, Emily Whie (Katie Leclerc from Switched at Birth) has been running her family’s dairy farm with the help of her mother and best friend.

But this Christmas the farm has fallen on hard times so Emily’s sister, Dorothy White (newcomer Jennifer Ellis), who is part owner with Emily, and her handsome business partner, Charlie (Ryan Cooper from One Life to Live and the short-lived MTV drama Eye Candy), show up with a proposition to sell the farm.

Emily comes up with an ingenious plan to buy out her sister’s shares and hold an online holiday ice cream flavor contest that goes viral with the help of a key ingredient, Charlie’s amazing apple pie. Christmas a la Mode ice cream is born.

Still as the Christmas Eve deadline for the buyout approaches, Emily needs a Christmas miracle to save the farm and her father’s legacy in time for a happy Christmas.

Visit Lifetime to see the trailer for Christmas a la Mode.

Christmas a la Mode will debut on Lifetime tonight at 8/7c.
