PS: [Oct 2026] Most Anticipated Christmas or Holiday Themed 2026 Lifetime Movie (Not Ready)

Which Christmas or holiday-themed original programming movie that is scheduled to premiere around the fourth quarter of the 2026 calendar year (September 14, 2026 to January 04, 2027) on a Lifetime branded cable channel*, are you most looking forward to seeing? 

In 2026, Lifetime greatly expanded its annual Christmas & holiday movie event by bookending its signature "It’s a Wonderful Lifetime" celebration, with two other events. Effectively, turning a prior five-week holiday movie sprint into a sixteen-week holiday movie marathon. The fun starts with a "Festive Beginnings” with 8 original movie premieres during a seven-week warm-up event, then transitions into a seven-week "It’s a Wonderful Lifetime" core event with 20 original movie premieres, and ends with 4 original movie premieres over a two-week "Twelve Days of Yuletide" cool-down event.

* The Lifetime answer pool includes original programming movie premieres from all three Lifetime movie events: "Festive Beginnings," "It’s a Wonderful Lifetime," and "Twelve Days of Yuletide" featured on the Lifetime Entertainment Network (Lifetime Channel, Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime Movie Club, & Lifetime Digital Streaming)
