A year and a half ago (April, 2021), fake snow and Christmas decorations went up in Town Square in my hometown of Norwood, Massachusetts, and the Norwood Theatre across the street from.the Square (built in 1927 as a movie theatre, but today, it hosts concerts and plays) had the title "A Christmas Carol" on it's marquee.
It was all for the filming of a Lifetime cable network Christmas movie (a genre both it and the rival Hallmark Channel cable network specialize in) originally titled "A Playful Romance". But the title was subsequently changed to "A Show-Stopping Christmas", and while it didn't get shown by Lifetime (or anyone else in the U.S.) last year, it did air on Canada's CBC-TV last December 15th.
Finally, more than eighteen months after it was filmed, "A Show-Stopping Christmas" has finally been scheduled fir broadcast in the United States. It will be seen Sunday, November 20th at 8 P.M. Eastern, 7 Central (and probably also at 8 Pacific time).

Granted, it's probably going to be a "Grade Z" movie but as most of it was filmed in my hometown, I'll be watching, as will many people living in or near Norwood, probably looking for local locations more than to watch what will probably be a sappy movie.
