Lifetime Announces 2023 "It's A Wonderful Lifetime" Schedule Of Christmas Romance Movies

Lifetime, which like the rival Hallmark Channel, shows round-the-clock Christmas romance movies over the Holiday season (branded as "It's A Wonderful Lifetime"), has announced it's 2023 schedule of Christmas movies.

This year, there are only twelve brand new Christmas movies on Lifetime (and one other on the Lifetime Movie Network, as opposed to 24 in 2022 and 31 new Christmas romance movies this year on the Hallmark Channel). I wonder if the writers' and actors' strikes may have reduced the number of Christmas movies that were produced for Lifetime (or even the Hallmark Channel this year.

If that's the case, and assuming that the actors' strike ends early enough, then there might be even more new Lifetime and Hallmark Channel Christmas romance movies in 2024.

In addition to the new Christmas movies, both networks will rebroadcast Christmas movies originally broadcast over the past few years.

For Christmas-loving "soccer moms" (women between 25 and 54 years of age, the prime demographic of today's advertising), this will be fantastic. For those who hate Christmas romance movies (which includes a lot of men), it will add up to several weeks of sappy programming that will be boring at best and infuriating at worst.

A confession: Last year, I did watch one Lifetime Christmas romance movie: "A Show-Stopping Christmas". The only reason I watched it was because it was mostly filmed in my hometown of Norwood, Massachusetts.

If you want a good selection of Christmas flicks, don't go to sappy Lifetime and Hallmark. In fact, their Hallmark Hall of Fame films on CBS were far better. There's a reason why they only aired 3-4 times a year at most.

Of course, women between the ages of 30-50 matter the most. I mean, there are even socks out there that promote Hallmark's Christmas movies.
 
How do Lifetime Christmas movies differ from Hallmark. One a long lost couple finds love. The other a married couple fights and gets divorced.
