Lifetime brings yet another holiday film, It Takes a Christmas Village, this week. It is part of the network’s ongoing TV movie event, It’s A Wonderful Lifetime.
It Takes a Christmas Village is about the holiday spirit, love and compassion. Mayor Alex Foster plans to organize a Christmas market in the town and wants to hold it at Darcy Hawkins’ family’s historic mill.
However, there is one problem. Hawkins is reclusive and convincing him to give away his property for an event might require more than a request. Plus, the historic mill is part of his family feud.
The official synopsis of It Takes a Christmas Village reads:
“When road construction threatens to close the town's shops, the mayor offers a Christmas market to boost sales but she'll have to convince reclusive Darcy to host it at his family's mill, re-igniting old feuds while also sparking romance.”
On that note, here’s a look at the cast list of the Lifetime drama.
