Lifetime is set to give the audiences some early Christmas season's greetings in the form of 'Merry Liddle Christmas Baby', a sequel to 'Merry Liddle Christmas' and 'Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding'.

With their family expanding in ways they could never have expected, the Liddles are headed for a crazy Christmas filled with merry mayhem and lots of love and laughter."
