The Lifetime channel's highly anticipated annual holiday affair, It's a Wonderful Lifetime, has officially kicked off! From now until Christmas, they're airing new, original holiday movies every Saturday and Sunday night at 8pm.

Director and co-writer Brian Herzlinger, who has made several movies for Lifetime,...
