Lifetime to release 12 new Christmas movies starring Teri Hatcher, Tia Mowry, and more — see the schedule

Christmas comes but once a year, and Lifetime is ready to make the most of it.

The network unwrapped its annual It's A Wonderful Lifetime holiday lineup on Tuesday, revealing 12 new star-studded Christmas movies that are sure to get viewers feeling the yuletide spirit. The festive fun officially kicks off on Nov. 18 with the wedding-themed movie Christmas Plus One, starring Emily Alatalo and Corey Sevier, and will continue each winter weekend all the way until Dec. 23. Additionally, Lifetime Movie Network will also release its own new spooky thriller, Silent Night, Fatal Night.

And, spoiler alert: There's plenty to be merry about when it comes to this year's slate.  Grey's Anatomy alum Sarah Drew, who wrote and starred in last year's holiday hit Reindeer Games Homecoming, is bringing a bit of country to Christmas this year, serving as writer and executive producer on the Adam Senn and One Tree Hill's Jana Kramer-headlined A Cowboy Christmas Romance. Elsewhere, Tia Mowry and the Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro, have teamed up as both executive producers and costars in Yes, Chef! Christmas, Teri Hatcher is single and living her best influencer life in Christmas at the Chalet, and Jackée Harry is earning some extra holiday pay as A Christmas Intern.

Oh, and did we mention the '80s version of Avengers that will be gracing television screens on Dec. 2? Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, and Nicollette Sheridan are coming together for Ladies of the '80s: A Divas Christmas, which follows the quintet as they "shoot the final Christmas episode of their long-running soap opera." And, if that wasn't good enough, the film's title song is performed by none other than '80s icon Tiffany. Christmas has truly come early this year!

Check out Lifetime's full slate below.
