Watch Tatyana Ali and Sean Patrick Thomas in the Lifetime Holiday Movie The Christmas Hotel

By  | 

The Christmas Hotel is the next to the last holiday movie to air as part of the “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime”, debuting at 8/7c on December 21.

Go-getter, Erin Roberts (Tatyana Ali from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the holiday movies Christmas Everlasting and Wrapped Up in Christmas), works at the high-end Windsor Hotel in New York City hoping to soon be promoted to manager of the luxury chain’s upcoming hotel in Rome.

But things take an unexpected turn when her boss instead puts her in charge of opening up a brand new Windsor Hotel in Erin’s hometown of Garland Grove, a small mountain town that loves all things Christmas, all year round.
