It's a family affair for Grammy Award-winning singer and actress Brandy Norwood, who will star opposite her daughter Sy'Rai Smith, in her acting debut, in the new Lifetime holiday film Christmas Everyday.
The title, which Norwood also executive produces, will serve as the tentpole to the network's "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" slate. Additional titles will be announced soon.
In Christmas Everyday, Norwood portrays Francine "Fancy" Ballantine, a devoted fashion designer juggling family obligations and career ambitions.
Following the death of her father, Fancy has been more determined than ever to uphold his cherished Christmas traditions as her mother Evelyn (Debbi Morgan) has also begun losing her sight. But things aren't a smooth ride as Fancy simultaneously plans her bridezilla baby sister, Belle's (Smith), wedding. When a water pipe bursts and disrupts the fairytale wedding plans, Fancy finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the rugged, yet charming, contractor Jaylen (Robert C Riley), tasked with renovating the house. Through all the chaos, she learns valuable lessons about faith, family, and the true meaning of Christmas.
The movie will feature Norwood's 2023 holiday song of the same name. Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (UnReal) also stars as Fancy's co-worker Germaine.
"The holidays are always about family as part of the festivities, so I'm beyond thrilled to be partnering with Lifetime on this magical holiday project and having my own daughter star with me – even though we are playing sisters!" Norwood shared. "It's a Wonderful Lifetime has become such a beloved tradition, and I'm honored to star and executive produce."
Alongside Norwood, executive producers include Stella Bulochnikov, Dr. Holly Carter and Ryan Ramsey as well as Fernando Szew, Hannah Pillemer, Larry Grimaldi and Adam Shepard for Fox Entertainment Studios, which produces the movie. Christmas Everyday will be directed by Roger Bobb and is based on a script written by Meg DeLoatch and Cameron Ross. Fox Entertainment Global will distribute the film internationally.
Norwood is repped by CAA and SALXCO.
