A Country Christmas Harmony is an upcoming movie that will premiere on Lifetime on Friday, 18 November 2022, starring Brooke Elliott and Brandon Quinn. The film follows the tale of Chrissy, a small-town big-dreaming singer who leaves her hometown and a steady relationship to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. She manages to rise to fame on her own merit, but her music sales start to decline after a period of time. To counter this, Chrissy's manager hatches a plan for a televised Christmas concert of her debuting with a new song in her hometown, the place where it all started.
Initially hesitant, Chrissy returns to her hometown and bumps into her ex-boyfriend Luke, who wrote songs for them to sing as a duo when she started her career. Trapped inside Luke's ranch home one night, the duo realize they need each other for Chrissy's concert and Luke's grandmother's Christmas party, possibly perhaps in the backdrop of the rekindling of their love.
