‘Too Close for Christmas’ Preview
Starring Jessica Lowndes and Chad Michael Murray, Too Close for Christmas is the latest film in the 2020 slate of “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” holiday films.
The description reads, “When Hayley (Jessica Lowndes) accepts an invitation to spend Christmas with her sister’s new in-laws, her seemingly perfect holiday takes a turn when Luke (Chad Michael Murray), Hayley’s brother-in-law’s brother, unexpectedly shows up. Still harboring a grudge against Luke for ending her last relationship, Hayley reluctantly spends time with Luke and slowly realizes she may have been too quick a judge on Luke.”
The trailer shows the family coming together for a charity event, with Hayley stepping in when they find themselves in a pinch. Plus, she and Luke bond over their failed relationships and shopping for a Christmas tree.
“I know you don’t think I’ll ever stand still,” says Luke to Hayley. “I just needed the right reason.”
Lowndes is best known for playing Adrianna Tate-Duncan on 90210, but in recent years, she has been lighting up the small screen with her TV movies like A Mother’s Nightmare, A Deadly Adoption, Merry Matrimony, A December Bride, Magical Christmas Ornaments, Christmas at Pemberley Manor, and Over the Moon in Love.
Murray is known for starring as Lucas Scott on One Tree Hill for nearly a decade, plus playing recurring roles on Gilmore Girls, Agent Carter, and Riverdale. He has recently been appearing in TV movies like The Beach House, Road to Christmas, Write Before Christmas, and Love in Winderland.
Too Close For Christmas premieres Friday, December 4 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime.
