Apparently I missed posting about this (though it's not entirely my fault because, even though the following linked article is dated November 29th, 14 of the movies it lists had already aired before then

Lifetime's Christmas Movie Schedule 2022
It's a holiday movie extravaganza, and it's going on now!Sunday, Nov. 20
A Show-Stopping Christmas
Stars: Jamie Perez, Thomas McDonell
Riley Burdett (Jamie Perez) is the artistic director of the Onota Theatre in Western Massachusetts. When Regina, the Scrooge-like owner of the theatre, breaks the news that she's preparing to sell the property before the holiday performance, Riley must call upon the ghosts of Regina's past, present, and future to change her mind. Meanwhile, a big TV star, Sam Palmer (Thomas McDonnell), has moved to the area to escape the craziness of Hollywood. Riley casts him as Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol and his star power, his cleverness, and his budding love for Riley helps her save the theatre...and steal her heart during this very special Christmastime.
Lifetime repeat its movies, so this may be on again this year.
Also, this movie is listed at IMDb as
A Playful Romance. Apparently there was a name change somewhere along the way...
And speaking of IMDb, McDonell's credits still list the 2012 DS. What's funny is it indicates he's "uncredited." Well duh, his part didn't make the final cut.
