Baking Spirits Bright is yet another Lifetime movie from the network’s Christmas event, "It’s A Wonderful Lifetime." The movie is not just about the holiday season and Christmas magic, but also about putting faith in oneself.

Baking Spirits Bright is the story of Mira Varma and her family’s fruit cake business. As the business begins losing its value, Mira’s parents are worried so they hire a marketing company to boost sales during the holiday season.

The company sent Brady Phillips for the campaign. Although Mira believes that Christmas will ring business bells even without a sales boost, she agrees to work with Brady for her parents.

Soon, sparks fly between the two. Will Mira and Brady keep their relationship solely professional? Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, let’s have a look at the cast members of Baking Spirits Bright.
