Forget about fall—holiday movie season is finally here!

It won't be long before Lifetime Christmas movies return to the small screen and fill our hearts with love, laughter, and an overwhelming urge to move to a small town. After you hear what's in store for this year's wonderfully cheesy collection of made-for-TV movies, you'll be ready to trade in your pumpkins for garland and swap out your Halloween decorations for Christmas lights. Because, if you ask us, it's never too early to get in the Christmas spirit. (Though Ree Drummond might disagree. Don't let her catch you with your Christmas tree up in November! 😂)

Lifetime's "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" schedule for 2021 has not yet been released, but the network has dropped more than a few hints about what classic Christmas movie lovers have to look forward to. Reba McEntire is starring in a new music-themed film, members of The Brady Bunch cast will make their Lifetime movie debut, and Lifetime fan-favorites like Mario Lopez, Melissa Joan Hart, and Tia Mowry will be back for more holiday fun. This year's Lifetime Christmas movies will also continue to feature diverse narratives and characters, because "Christmas is for everyone."

Read on for all the details we have so far about the 2021 "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" schedule, including casting, premiere dates, and more! When you're done with that, take a look back at the best Lifetime movies you can stream right now.
