Lifetime's Big Holiday Movie Announcement Has Everyone Talking
Mia Walsh While the cast and release date of the groundbreaking movie haven't yet been announced, we do know the title and the plot. The Christmas Set-Up will tell the story of corporate lawyer Hugo, who returns home to Milwaukee for the holidays. Once Hugo's home, his meddling mother sets him up with his high school crush, Patrick, who's found success in Silicon Valley. Hugo must decide whether to follow his heart or take a big promotion that would send him to London.
Lifetime also announced its first holiday movie featuring a Chinese American family, A Sugar and Spice Holiday, directed by Jennifer Liao. A Sugar and Spice Holiday will follow architect Suzie, who returns home to Maine and ends up competing in a gingerbread house competition (via The Hollywood Reporter). Both films are still in casting, and production is supposed to begin next month. Fortunately, impatient fans won't have to wait long. Lifetime's Christmas block will start in mid-October, airing new movies through December.
