Jennifer Love Hewitt is returning to Lifetime!

The 45-year-old 9-1-1 actress is starring in, directing and executive producing The Holiday Junkie (working title), inspired by her personal relationship with the holiday and the loss of her mother, via Deadline.

The movie is positioned as a tentpole of the network’s 2024 It’s a Wonderful Lifetime movie slate, according to the report.

The Holiday Junkie is described as a family affair, with her real-life husband, Brian Hallisay co-starring, and their children appearing in the film as well.

Here’s a plot summary: The movie “follows the decorating and planning service company run by Andie (Hewitt) and her mother Mimi. After Mimi passes away, Andie is forced to face her first Christmas without her mother and carry The Holiday Junkie torch on her own. Despite the challenges, Andie may also find some love at Christmas along the way!”

Jennifer is beloved by Lifetime and our viewers,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP, Head of Programming Genres for A&E, Lifetime and LMN. “We’re excited to work with her again on this special project near and dear to her and to have it as one of our cornerstones for our It’s a Wonderful Lifetime slate.”

“To be able to direct and be in this movie with my husband is such a special opportunity. And to be back home with Lifetime feels as right as Christmas magic!” said Jennifer in a statement.

She last starred and produced the hit 2010 original movie The Client List, which led to a TV series that ran for two seasons.

Last year, she launched the marketing and consumer brand The Holiday Junkie, and she’s releasing a similarly themed book as the film, titled Inheriting Magic, on December 10 through BenBella Books.
