Lifetime kicks off its 2025 holiday slate with a premiere screening in Los Angeles of Christmas Everyday, starring Brandy Norwood and her daughter, Sy’Rai Smith.
The mother–daughter duo star as on-screen sisters in Christmas Everyday, bringing holiday magic to Lifetime in a film that celebrates family, faith, and the true meaning of the season.
Following the death of her father, Fancy (Brandy Norwood) is more determined than ever to uphold his cherished Christmas traditions, especially as her mother, Evelyn (Debbi Morgan), has begun losing her sight. But keeping the holidays bright isn’t easy as Fancy juggles planning her bridezilla baby sister Belle’s (Sy’Rai Smith) wedding. When a water pipe bursts and disrupts the fairytale plans, Fancy finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the rugged yet charming contractor Jaylen (Robert C. Riley), who steps in to renovate the house. Amid the chaos, she discovers valuable lessons about love, family, and what Christmas truly means. Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (UnReal) also stars as Fancy’s co-worker, Germaine.
