🏰 Roll out the Red Carpet for 2 Classic Christmas Movies starring Danica McKellar! 👑

Before the new royal-themed movie, "Fit for a Prince," premieres this weekend, take a look back at a viewer favorite royal movie, "Crown for Christmas!" It's hard to believe this movie was actually Danica McKellar's first Hallmark movie; I believe many feel it's still one of her finest performances!

Get swept away to the castle in Winshire - as Danica portrays governess Allie Evans to a young girl, Princess Theodora, and perhaps, falls in love with Theodora's father, King Maximillian. (or just Max.) This heartwarming movie has been touching hearts since Christmas, 2015!

See details on the Christmas movies airing this week starring Danica McKellar...


CHRISTMAS AT DOLLYWOOD





Starring: Danica McKellar and Niall Matter

Storyline via Hallmark: Event planner Rachel Davis returns to her Tennessee hometown to take on the biggest job of her career – Dollywood’s 30th Smoky Mountain Christmas celebration – and is teamed up with unimaginative operations director Luke Hakman to plan the event that has to be as bombastic and glamourous as Dolly Parton herself. And when Dolly gets involved in a little matchmaking, Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas event lights up the sky with joy, laughter and love.

Encores: Thursday, March 4, 2021 at 8pm/7c.
on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries

CROWN FOR CHRISTMAS

Starring: Danica McKellar and Rupert Penry Jones

Storyline via Hallmark: Allie, a fired maid from a ritzy NYC hotel, takes a job as a governess to a young girl who is part of a powerful family in Europe. After reluctantly accepting, and upon arrival at the castle, learns the girl is Princess Theodora and that her father is Maximillion, the King of Winshire. Max informs Allie that the Princess prides herself on terrorizing authority figures and has gotten worse since her mother's death. As the story unfolds, we see Allie bond with Theodora and also helps to bring Theodora and her father together. And through all of this, a spark forms between Allie and Max. However, Countess Celia is expecting to wed the King. Will Max take a stand for his feelings for Allie and make it truly a merry Christmas for all?

MCENTIRE WILL STAR IN AND PRODUCE 

CHRISTMAS IN TUNE

FOR NETWORKS’ 

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFETIME 

HOLIDAY SLATE

SECOND NON-HOLIDAY MOVIE IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 2022

Los Angeles, CA – March 3, 2021 – Lifetime announced today a two-picture deal with multimedia entertainment mogul Reba McEntire to star in and produce two movies for the network. The first of the projects will be Christmas In Tune (working title), which will be featured as a tentpole movie for the network’s annual holiday slate, It’s a Wonderful Lifetime. Christmas in Tune will also include an original holiday song by McEntire. Casting is currently underway and will film this spring.

The second film which will not be a holiday movie, is in development for 2022.

“Reba has been a creative force in both music and television for many years. We are thrilled to have her on board to produce and star in not just one – but two movies for us,” said Tanya Lopez, EVP of Movies, Limited Series & Original Movie Acquisitions, Lifetime and LMN. “Reba has been part of Lifetime’s air many years ago and we can’t wait to welcome her back!”

McEntire echoed Lopez’s sentiment stating, “I am thrilled to partner with Lifetime for a return to television movies! My fans and I enjoy their programming and loved watching the Reba show there for so many years.”

Christmas In Tune tells the story of Belle, a marketing executive who is worried she may lose her job. She decides to reunite a singing duo for a charity Christmas concert in order, but the problem is - the singers are actually her parents and they have not spoken to each other in years! Soon the at-odds couple is helping Belle get her life in order and she begins her own romantic duet with the new man in her life.

Christmas in Tune is written by Juliet Giglio and Keith Giglio and produced by Hartbreak Films with Paula Hart and Reba McEntire serving as executive producers.

McEntire has been an entertainment mainstay for more than 40 years. The Country Music Hall of Fame member and Kennedy Center Honoree is the recipient of 3 Grammy Awards, 16 Academy of Country Music Awards, 15 American Music Awards, 9 People’s Choice Awards, 6 Country Music Association Awards and countless other honors recognizing not only her outstanding entertainment achievements but also her philanthropic efforts. In addition to her music career, McEntire starred in 11 movies, captivated New York theater audiences with her critically acclaimed turn as Annie Oakley in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun and is most well known for her Golden Globe nominated role as Reba Hart on the hit sitcom Reba, which she starred in and executive produced for 6 seasons on the WB Network. She also has successful brand partnerships with her clothing line at Dillard’s and western footwear collection with Justin Boots. Most recently, she launched her very first Spotify original podcast, Living & Learning with Reba McEntire, co-hosted by her former Reba TV show co-star, Melissa Peterman.
