Holiday madness

2020 Holiday Movies — Crown Media (2); Lifetime (2); Netflix; Hulu

2020 will be a year to forget, and while many events have been canceled or postponed in these pandemic times, Christmas will not be on that list. Or at least the Christmas movie season won't. The networks and streamers are stringing up nearly 100 films — 40 alone on Hallmark, 30 more on Lifetime — in hopes of bringing cheer to a most miserable year. Why not watch celebrities such as Dolly Parton, Tamera Mowry-Housely, Lacey Chabert, Melissa Joan Hart, Mario Lopez, Kelly Rowland, Fran Drescher, Jason Priestley, Kat Graham, Kurt Russell, Laura Osnes, Vanessa Hudgens, and Forest Whitaker find new ways to wriggle out of decked-hall dilemmas and save the day/family ranch/North Pole? To see what's in (toy) store for you from 99 films (and counting), start clicking and dreaming of a overstuffed holiday season.

Contains: Discovery of biological family, New Orleans-style Christmas
Official synopsis: "Given up for adoption and placed in foster care at a young age, writer Halle Downing (Victor) receives the blessing of a lifetime when she is invited to spend Christmas in New Orleans with the biological family she never knew she had — the Moores. Halle's grandmother "Memaw" (Stewart) welcomes the young woman with open arms, completely overwhelming Halle with emotion at the significance of finally finding her family. Extremely excited to meet her twin siblings Tiffany (Smith) and Glenn (Beauchamp) along with younger brother Drew (Jackson) for the first time, Halle soon faces the hard reality that finding her place in this close-knit family is going to take longer than she thought, something that becomes particularly evident when she witnesses Tiffany's apprehension about introducing her new girlfriend, Paris (Tavarez), to the family for the first time. However, as Christmas approaches, Halle begins to gain perspective on the Moore family dynamic and ultimately comes to embrace and celebrate her first family holiday with a special gift that tells her she is right where she is supposed to be."
