People

Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn, Lisa Whelchel and Nancy McKeon will star together in the Lifetime film Light Up My Christmas, airing Dec. 1 as part of the cable channel's “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” programming. Fields is executive producing the film, and asked her "sisters" to star. “It’s been amazing to work together again and have the ladies’ input on their characters from their wardrobe to names, as well as provide fun inside jokes for fans,” Fields tells People in a statement. “I also had the production name the ice-skating rink in the movie after our dear friend, Charlotte Rae, who passed away last year. We truly are a family so it was great to work together on something new!” Fields will play a woman who returns to her hometown and discovers the lights in the once festive town have gone dim.
