Los Angeles, CA (May 19, 2021) – Santa’s sleigh is overflowing for Lifetime’s 2021 annual It’s a Wonderful Lifetime holiday slate. In addition to new movies featuring Reba McEntire (details soon!), and returning favorites Kelly Rowland, Melissa Joan Hart, Mario Lopez, Jana Kramer and more, the network is providing a sneak peek of what’s to come!

This year, Lifetime will reunite some memorable casts including High School Musical alums Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman in A Christmas Dance Reunion.

Additionally, Blending Christmas, directed by Marla Sokoloff, stars Haylie Duff, Aaron O’Connell, Beth Broderick, Telma Hopkins, Greg Evigan and former The Brady Bunch actors Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen, Jennifer Elise Cox and Robbie Rist.

Descriptions of movies below.

A CHRISTMAS DANCE REUNION

Successful attorney Lucy Mortimer (Monique Coleman), along with her mother Virginia (Kim Roberts) return to the Winterleigh Resort to help celebrate the hotel’s final Christmas season before the resort closes its doors permanently. Once there, Lucy is reunited with the owner’s nephew and her childhood Christmas Dance partner, Barrett Brewster (Corbin Bleu). Though the resort has fallen on hard times and has stopped most holiday events, Lucy leads the charge in recreating the beloved Christmas traditions, including the popular Christmas Dance, to bring together new families and new hope to the resort. Now, Lucy must decide if she's willing to take a risk on love and partner up once more with Barrett for what could be the last Christmas Dance.

A Christmas Dance Reunion is produced by Off Camera Entertainment and Brain Power Studio with Stephanie Slack, Margret H. Huddleston and Beth Stevenson as Executive Producers. Megan Henry Herzlinger and Brian Herzlinger serve as writers. Brian Herzlinger also directs.

BLENDING CHRISTMAS

The holiday season is in full swing when Emma (Haylie Duff) learns that the resort where she used to spend Christmases with her family is being redeveloped. Her boyfriend Liam (Aaron O’Connell), hatches a plan to bring her to the resort one last time to propose! He secretly invites both their families to join them and Emma is delighted when she arrives to find the whole family bunch there. Of course, no holiday gathering is complete without drama, and soon the families are bickering over every detail! The added stress from trying to blend the two families eventually takes a toll on Emma and Liam, who start questioning their own relationship. Now just days before Christmas, the two families realize that they're going to have to work together in order to reunite Emma and Liam!

Blending Christmas is produced by Hybrid LLC. Marla Sokoloff directs from a script by Peter Sullivan and Adam Rockoff.


And because everyone needs some holiday happiness all year round, Lifetime launches It’s a Wonderful Lifetime: Summer of Santas offering some of the most beloved Lifetime holiday films all month long, including Lifetime's Official YouTube Channel, six on VOD, and twenty titles on Lifetime’s app LMC.

--------------END of Press Release---------------

It's fun to see both of these casts reuniting, especially, in my opinion - The Brady Bunch! I think most everyone has grown up watching The Brady Bunch, whether it was live or in re-runs. For me personally, it was in re-runs, weekdays in the summer and after school. Favorite episodes were: Peter's changing voice - Time to Change, Marcia and her Mother, Carol, singing "Together" at the Family Frolic Night, Something Suddenly Came Up date excuse, Amateur Night with two songs - "Sunshine Day" and "Keep On," Jan complaining about being in the middle and the infamous quote "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia," and so many more great episodes! How I wish Florence Henderson (Carol Brady) was still here to be a part of this.

Please note: We don't know which Christmas movies will be family friendly this upcoming Christmas season, but I hope we will have plenty to look forward to, as we did last year.

Are you excited about these two Christmas movies? Please share in comments below. And, if you have a favorite episode of The Brady Bunch, you can share that, too!

INSP remembers Actress Ann B. Davis, Alice of "The Brady Bunch", with a Special Marathon Tribute

Today, beginning at 5 PM et., INSP will have a Special Marathon honoring Ann B. Davis with six "Alice" episodes of The Brady Bunch.

 

Ann Bradford Davis was born on May 5, 1926.

She passed away on June 1, 2014.

INSP Tribute Message: "Oh, Alice! You Made us Laugh!

Alice goes to great lengths trying to keep the Brady household running smoothly, always with hilarious results. She is more than a maid. She’s a mentor, counselor, doctor, best friend, and more.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death of Ann B. Davis, the veteran comic actress who brought “Alice wisdom” into our lives with each episode of “The Brady Bunch.”

To honor her memory, we’re pleased to present special episodes of “The Brady Bunch” featuring the beloved actress. Laugh out loud. Alice would have it no other way."

Episodes honoring "Alice" Today - June 5, 2014:

*Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - 5: 00 pm
Long-time Brady housekeeper Alice begins to feel like a third wheel in the Brady household now that there's a new Mrs. Brady to take care of family matters. The family cooks up a plot to let Alice know just how important she is.

*The Big Sprain - 5:30 pm
While Carol is out of town, Alice trips on a set of Chinese checkers and sprains her ankle, leaving Mike to manage the household. Feeling guilty about causing her to miss the Meat-Cutters Ball, the kids snap into action, tackling all the home chores the Brady kids' way.

*Alice's September Song - 6:00 pm
Alice is swept off her feet by an old flame named Mark Millard and Sam the butcher (her usual bowling date) smells a rat. With the help of Mr. Brady, he wins back his "favorite little lamb chop."

*Sergeant Emma - 6:30 pm
Alice's cousin Emma arrives at the Brady house to cover for Alice while she is on vacation. Emma throws the Brady kids for a loop and they quickly tire of her sergeant drills.  Mike and Carol find it hard to warm up to Emma's rough personality and all wish for Alice's early return.

*Goodbye, Alice, Hello - 7:00 pm
When the Brady kids believe Alice can no longer be trusted, she makes an excuse to leave, and hires her own replacement.  The kids soon learn that they desperately miss Alice and when they find Alice waitressing at a restaurant, they beg her to come back.

*The Elopement - 7:30 pm
When Marcia and Jan overhear Alice and Sam talk about eloping, they tell the rest of the family the good news.  The whole family plans a surprise wedding reception for the "bride-to-be." However, the Brady's may be getting ahead of Sam and Alice.

Please SHARE... Your favorite "Alice" or Brady Bunch episode in the comments below!

I personally love the Musical episodes where they sang "Together, Wherever We Go...", "It's Time to Change", etc...! Plus, I adored Alice with Sam, the Butcher, and when Alice falls in the dunking tank at the end of that episode where she had tried so hard to avoid it... well, I can't help from laughing every time. She was truly great!

Ann B. Davis gave us a wonderful family comedy and warm, happy memories to cherish forever... for generations and generations to come!

Our Prayers go out now to her dear family, friends, and her "Brady" family, too.
