‘Dear Christmas’ Lifetime Movie Premiere: Trailer, Synopsis, Cast

“It’s A Wonderful Lifetime” 2020 is set to continue with the premiere of its newest holiday film, “Dear Christmas,” starring Melissa Joan Hart and Jason Priestley.

The film will be bringing two big names together for the first time, with one being longtime holiday movie vet, Melissa Joan Hart, who also directed “Feliz NaviDAD.”Her other titles on Lifetime have included starring toles in “Christmas Reservations,” “A Very Nutty Christmas” and “A Very Merry Toy Store,” though she has also starred in the Hallmark Channel film “Broadcasting Christmas.” Fans may also recognize her from her roles in 90s shows such as “Clarissa Explains It All” and “Sabrina The Teenage Witch,” movies like “Drive Me Crazy,” or even more recent television shows “Melissa & Joey” and “No Good Nick.”

Her co-star, Jason Priestley, will also be no stranger to most fans because while this marks his first time appearing in a Lifetime holiday flick, he is likely forever known in the hearts of many who grew up in the 90s as Brandon Walsh from “Beverly Hills 90210.” He quasi-reprised that role in 2019 by portraying a version of himself revisiting that role in “BH90210” on FOX. He also had a role in the 2019 holiday film, “An Assortment of Christmas Tales In No Particular Order.”

So what will happen when these two bring their powerhouse personas to a new Lifetime Christmas movie?

“Natalie Morgan (Hart) is the host of a popular podcast, Holiday Love, which shares true stories of holiday romance with its listeners,” a synopsis reads. “While the outside world and her listeners everywhere see Natalie as an expert on romance, she’s never truly experienced a romance of her own.”

However, a visit home for the holidays could change everything for her.

“As Natalie prepares to embark on a promotional tour for her new book, she stops back home to spend Christmas with her family, where she unexpectedly begins to experience her own holiday romance as spark ignite with local firefighter, Jack (Priestley),” the synopsis continues.

Will the sparks give Natalie the ultimate holiday Love story for her podcast?

Robin Givens (“A Christmas To Remember), Ed Begley Jr (“Bless This Mess”), Faith Prince (“Melissa & Joey”) and Nickey Whelan (“A Christmas Arrangement”) also star, while Jamie and Doug Hehner (“Married At First Sight”) and Hilarie Burton and Antwon Tanner (“One Tree Hill,” “The Christmas Contract”) make cameo appearances.

“Dear Christmas” premieres Friday, Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
