Lifetime’s 2024 “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” schedule featured 12 new holiday movies, premiering on weekends from Nov. 16 through Dec. 22. TV Guide listed each premiere for 8 p.m. ET/PT, with two new films each weekend. The dates have passed, so this is a retrospective schedule—not a current announcement.

What kinds of stories were in the lineup?
The schedule paired romance with family and community stories. Its settings included a beauty salon, a family bakery, an alpaca farm and a record store; other plots centered on a manor inheritance, a small-town land tradition, a family reunion or dating under public attention. Those premises offer a quick way to choose a movie by the kind of holiday story you want.
Where could viewers watch the movies during the 2024 season?
TV Guide reported that Lifetime made 100 holiday titles available on its website and app, as well as through video-on-demand partners, through Jan. 1, 2025. It also reported that new premieres became available on demand the day after their TV premiere. That was a seasonal window, not evidence of present-day availability.
