Kelly Rowland [1] is putting her own spin on making lemonade out of lemons by turning a real-life Christmas disaster into a true holiday treat — a Lifetime movie! The former Destiny's Child member [2] is joining Lifetime's star-studded 2019 Christmas movie lineup [3] with her upcoming film Merry Liddle Christmas.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Rowland stars in the film as successful tech entrepreneur Jacquie [4], who's recently purchased a new home and decided to host her family for the holidays (a true rookie mistake). Unsurprisingly, Jacquie's family is well-meaning but super dysfunctional, which means that her holiday is bound to get a little topsy-turvy. And since no Christmas movie [5] is complete with a little romance, Jacquie also has a new neighbour who is perfect for kissing under the mistletoe. There will also be "a glossy video shoot of the perfect Christmas" and we're high-key hoping it includes a reenactment of the Destiny's Child video for "8 Days of Christmas." [6]

We're looking forward to Merry Liddle Christmas giving us more insight into Rowland's "recent Christmas catastrophe," because it already sounds like a wild holiday ride we can get into. The film will premiere along with Lifetime's other 28 original holiday-themed flicks as part of the network's "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" campaign [7], which will run seven days a week from Oct. 25 through Dec. 25. And as the holiday-film-lovers [8] that we are, we'll be ready to watch with lots of eggnog and holiday cheer!
