Grammy Award-winning singer and "Moesha" actress Brandy Norwood is returning to television alongside her daughter, Sy'rai Smith, who makes her exciting acting debut in Lifetime's heartwarming holiday film "Christmas Everyday," premiering exclusively on Lifetime tonight! In the upcoming film, the mother-daughter duo will play sisters which Norwood also executive produced. The delightful film is part of Lifetime's "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" holiday programming slate anchoring the network's holiday themed movies.

Directed by Roger M. Bobb with a screenplay from Meg DeLoatch and Cameron J. Ross, following the death of her father, Fancy (Brandy Norwood) has been more determined than ever to uphold her father's 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 is planning her bridezilla baby sister, Belle's (Sy'rai 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) who is tasked with renovating the house. Through all the chaos, she learns valuable lessons about faith, family, and the true meaning of Christmas. Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (UnReal) also stars as Fancy's co-worker Germaine.

Norwood shared her excitement for the film in a statement, "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."

Don't miss the premiere Saturday, November 29 at 8/7c on Lifetime.
