Lifetime Putting Classic TV Characters In Upcoming Christmas Movies
We know it’s not Christmas yet. It’s not even LEON Day, the June 25th halfway to Christmas holiday, yet. But you know how we are around here at “Christmas K104.7.” Anything that smacks of the holiday season is always going to be on our radar, especially news about Christmas movies.
Lifetime has come up with a new holiday flick we’ll all want to check out. Haylie Duff and Aaron O’Connell star in “Blending Christmas.” Because the plot calls for some time reflecting on childhood, the movie features some of the original cast members from…wait for it…“The Brady Bunch!” The cast includes Barry Williams (Greg), Christopher Knight (Peter), Mike Lookinland (Bobby), Susan Olsen (Cindy) and Robbie Rist (Cousin Oliver), as well as Jennifer Elise Cox, who played Jan in 1995’s “The Brady Bunch Movie.”
A few other retro sitcom stars will be appearing in “Blending Christmas,” too. Keep an eye out for Beth Broderick, who played Aunt Zelda on “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” Greg Evigan of “B.J. and the Bear” and “My Two Dads” fame, and Telma Hopkins, who brought us laughs on “Bosom Buddies,” “Gimme A Break!” and “Family Matters.”
And how’s this for another blast from the past? Deadline reports that Lifetime is also releasing “A Christmas Dance Reunion,” which brings “High School Musical” alums Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman back together again. Watch for both movies this holiday season as part of the network’s annual “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” lineup.
