12 Men of Christmas (2009)

12 Men of Christmas, starring Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth, is the timeless story of a Manhattan lady fleeing the city to start a new life in the Montana countryside.

A Country Christmas Story (2013)

If we’re rating Lifetime Christmas movies by actual talent, A Country Christmas Story, starring nobody besides Dolly Parton, has to be at the top of the list.

This one is fantastic for its quality musical performances and, of course, the celebs (it also includes Brian McKnight and Desiree Ross), but it isn’t a Christmas picture.

This is about a teen girl from a small Appalachian town who dreams of becoming a country music star, but she would be disobeying her mother’s wishes if she pursued her ambitions. It’s more about family and music’s ability to heal, particularly country music. but can be very much enjoyed in your Christmas binge-watching movie list.

Jingle Belle (2018)

Another Ali Lifetime Christmas movie has made it to the top! Belle is a Juilliard music student who comes home to write the musical score for her hometown’s Christmas pageant.

Of course, she’ll run into her ex, Cornelius Smith Jr., while composing for the pageant, whose heart she crushed when she moved to Manhattan to pursue her musical goals.

This type of film is typically predictable, but this was the cherry on top.

Christmas Pen Pals (2018)

Hannah is played by Sarah Drew, a dating app developer and all-around digital whiz who, like most Lifetime leading ladies, is terrific at her job but terrible at relationships.

When she signs up to be an anonymous Christmas pen pal, she has no idea that letter-writing with the prospective love of her life will help her improve her love life. It is, to be sure.

Christmas Lost and Found (2018)

Few Christmas films focus completely on the love between grandchild and grandparent, which is why so many people adore Whitney Kennison (Tiya Sircar) and Grandma Frances (Diane Ladd) when they meet up to spend Christmas in Chicago together.

Both generations developed a deeper appreciation of the Christmas spirit as a result of the loss of family treasures and a Christmas-themed treasure hunt.

A Christmas Winter Song (2019)

A Christmas Winter Song, one of the best Lifetime Christmas movies from last year’s list, starring Ashanti as a grieving musician seeking purpose in life after a tragedy.

It’s also one of Lifetime’s few movies that can truly be classified as a musical!
