Rueben's Ramblings

On November 23, the Lifetime holiday movie Christmas in the Spotlight will debut at 8 PM.

The film follows Bowyn (Jessica Lord), a popular musician and celebrity, who despite always singing about love and relationships, hasn’t found Mr. Right yet. Her fame and busy recording schedule make it nearly impossible to date, but when she meets Drew (Laith Wallschleger), a pro football player, backstage at her show with his niece, there’s an undeniable spark between the two of them.

[Think of this as a small screen adaptation of the relationship between Taylor Swift and football player Travis Kelce, as if you need help figuring that one out, right?]

When Drew publicly declares he has a crush on Bowyn, they decide to give dating a shot, much to the excitement of her manager Mira (Jeannie Mai). With each passing day they spend together, their feelings grow stronger, but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules? With people questioning if their feelings for each other are real or just for show, the pressure mounts from the press, paparazzi, their fans and even their family, including Drew’s sister-in-law, Nicole (Haley Kalil).

The pair has until the end of the holiday season to decide if they want to stay together, or let it go down in flames.

Here is a trailer for Christmas in the Spotlight:
