Of course, there are the go-tos, like The Muppet Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life, but I have a weakness for the simple, kinda cheesy holiday rom-coms that the industry churns out reliably, year after year, and if anybody understands this field, it’s Lifetime. One of this year’s offerings is the surprisingly sweet Christmas In The Spotlight, courtesy of experienced Christmas movie director Michelle Ouellet.
