‘Spotlight On Christmas’ Lifetime Movie Premiere: Synopsis, Trailer, Cast

Lifetime’s “It’s A Wonderful Lifetime” programming event continues with the premiere of “Spotlight on Christmas,” starring Tori Anderson and Victor Zinck, Jr.

The film will mark a first on Lifetime for Anderson, who has worked on Hallmark Channel, starring in “Love Under the Olive Tree,” and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, starring in “Return to Christmas Creek.” She is also recognizable for her roles as Blake on “Blind Spot” and Evie on “No Tomorrow.”

As for Zinck, he previously worked on Lifetime in the film “Drink Slay Love,” but is likely better known for his various roles in other TV movies. Those include the UpTV film “Love Alaska,” as well as the Hallmark Channel projects “The Sweetest Heart,” “Frozen in Love,” “The Christmas Cottage” and “Love on the Sidelines.”

Janet Kidder (“Operation Christmas Drop”) and Lia Frankland (“Road to Christmas”) also star.

So what will happen in this film?

“Dumped two weeks before Christmas, actress Olivia O’Hara (Anderson) secretly returns to her tiny hometown to hide out, eat cookies and avoid the press,” a synopsis reads. “What she doesn’t expect is to be faced with the family she left behind, meeting a charming new guy Casey Rawlins (Zinck Jr.), and a nosy reporter following her every move.”

Now, faced with the chance to have freedom, but also like she might want to run as her life continues to haunt her, Olivia will make a choice—and come to a stunning conclusion.

“Completely overwhelmed, Olivia contemplates running away from her life once again but with a new found confidence and freedom, Olivia bravely steps up to take the starring role in her own life, realizing that home is where the heart is and that she deserves to be loved for exactly who she really is,” the synopsis reads.

“Spotlight on Christmas” premieres Monday, Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
