Kentucky Fried Chicken and Lifetime teamed up to make a 15-minute movie starring Mario Lopez as Colonel Sanders. A Recipe for Seduction will debut on December 13th at 12n.
“A Recipe for Seduction is a perfect excuse to curl up at home and escape to your own happily ever after,” Andrea Zahumensky, KFC U.S. chief marketing officer, said in a statement.
Do you know what will go great with this? Grab your lover, pick up a KFC basket of fried chicken, light up the fireplace with a KFC firelog, and watch the short and eat by the fire.
Lifetime announced five more original movies for this Christmas bringing their total to 30. Of those five movies, one will feature a same-sex couple, and another is about an Asian-American family.
In The Christmas Set-Up, Hugo is reunited with his high school crush, Patrick, who is also interested in him. They won’t need the help of mistletoe to kiss. Patrick’s mom is helping that happen.
That is just one of the movies that we will get to see. A Sugar & Spice Holiday is the story about Suzie returning home to spend the holidays with her Chinese family. While she is there, she starts cooking things up with an old high school friend.
Melissa Joan Hart, Jason Preistley, and Robin Givens star in Dear Christmas. Tiffany Haddish is producing Christmas Unwrapped that stars Amber Stevens West.
All of the above, are sharing the holidays with Betty White. Her movie was previously announced.

There has not been a lot to look forward to in 2020, but that all changed today. Lifetime announced that Miss Betty White is going to be starring in one of their Christmas movies.
According to the network, “National treasure Betty White joins the Lifetime holiday family for an untitled Christmas movie in which she helps whip would-be Santa’s into shape, spreading the true meaning of Christmas and leading everyone to wonder: is she secretly Mrs. Claus?”
Lifetime better cast some good looking young men to play Mrs. Claus’ Santa wannabes. She might be 98 years young, but she is still the sexiest woman in any room. That means she needs to work with men that are equally as hot.
She is not the only big name coming to the network. Jamie Lee Curtis stars in How We Sleep at Night: The Sara Cunningham Story. Robin Roberts has another movie in the works with them. The channel can’t enough of TAFKAP Harry and Meghan Markle, so they are getting a third movie. When it come to the other holiday movies, White’s star power will be joined Kelly Rowland, Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart in their own movies.
Normally, Lifetime makes me cry. Today they made me smile.

I have always said if I ran a television station, I would air Mommie Dearest for 24 hours straight on Mother’s Day. Well, Lifetime is doing something close to that on May 8th and May 9th. They are doing a marathon of their movies based on some awful moms who almost make Joan Crawford look like a good one.
Since most of us will not be able to spend the holiday with our moms because of social distancing, watch these movies so you won’t feel as bad. Have her watch too, so she will appreciate how well you turned out as compared to some of the children in these telemovies. It is a win/win for everyone but the dads.

Back in 1979, we got to know Tootie, Natalie, Blair and Jo on The Facts of Life. This Christmas, Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn, Lisa Whelchel and Nancy McKeon are going to have a 40th reunion on Lifetime in the movie You Light Up My Christmas.
Fields, who is starring and producing the telemovie, explained why she asked her classmates to join her. She said, “We’re sisters. We have a ball when we get to hang out personally and holidays are about family, memories and fun. So, when the opportunity came up to combine all of that with You Light Up My Christmas, I invited Lisa, Mindy and Nancy to make some fun, Christmas cameos and was thrilled they all enthusiastically jumped on board.” Maybe Lifetime will see how well the four of them still work together that they will consider giving them a revival. How awesome would that be?
Charlotte Rae, who passed away last year, will also be part of the film. They named an ice rink after her. Therefore, you should look out for it when the movie debuts on December 1st.
