Christmas is the season of joy, happiness, and love. The festive season is not only about family dinners and gifts, but also involves various Christmas TV specials, holiday movies and other entertainment features. We all have our favorite memories from the holiday season, be it family gatherings, Santa Claus, singing Christmas carols, or exchanging gifts. But what better way to welcome the festive season than with Lifetime's Christmas specials?

'Baking Spirits Bright' follows the story of Mira Varma (Rekha Sharma) who takes immense pride in the family’s business of making fruitcakes, although the decline in its popularity has set in big time. Their fruitcakes used to be the most popular holiday confection. Eventually, Mira’s parents decide to hire Brady Phillips (Dion Johnstone) and his marketing company to help boost sales for the festive season.
