By  | 

The ABC original telefilm Same Time, Next Christmas will debut tonight, December 5.

Lea Michele (Glee) stars as Olivia Henderson, a young woman who met her childhood sweetheart during her family’s annual Christmas visit to Hawaii. After being separated by distance and years, the two reunite at the same Hawaii resort years later and the old chemistry between them flares up anew – but circumstances conspire to keep them apart.

The cast includes Charles Michael Davis (Younger and The Originals), George Newbern (Scandal), Bryan Greenberg (How to Make It in America and The Mindy Project), Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and Phil Morris (Doom Patrol).

Same Time, Next Christmas will debut on ABC at 9/8c.
