It may still be summer, but Lifetime is already gearing up for the holidays. And this year's lineup is expected to bring some major firsts.
The network announced Monday that this year's "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" holiday slate will include its first film centered on an LGBTQ romance, as well as its first to feature a Chinese American family.
"I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible talent joining us in front of, and behind the camera, on these new holiday movies,” Lifetime's EVP and Head of Programming Amy Winter shared in a statement.
According to the network, "The Christmas Set Up" is about New York corporate lawyer Hugo, who falls for his high school friend and secret crush Patrick during the holidays, after Hugo's mom, Kate, plays matchmaker.
It comes after Lifetime debuted "Twinkle All the Way" in 2019, which was the network's first movie to feature a same-sex kiss.
