In the Lifetime holiday movie A Twist of Christmas, two single parents, working mom Abby Hewitt and lawyer Ryan Cooper (Brendon Zub), accidentally mix up their children’s toys at a crowded department store. Frustrated and in a rush to remedy the situation, they try to work together to salvage their holiday plans. Along the way, they fall for each other. [Note: more Lifetime movies streaming are always available.]

Single Mom Abby in A Twist of Christmas is portrayed by Vanessa Lachey. The former beauty queen (Miss Teen USA of 1998) and now wife of 98 Degrees boy band member Nick Lachey is known for her roles on Truth Be Told (Tracy), Dads (Camilla), and The Bold and the Beautiful (Amanda Wexler), among others. In 2017, Nick and Vanessa both competed on Dancing with the Stars (Season 25) after having their third child. Vanessa came in seventh place, Nick came in eighth (“Hamilton” Broadway star Jordan Fisher won.) A Twist of Christmas premieres on Lifetime on Saturday, December 1 at 8 pm.
That’s Vanessa in Nick’s 2006 video “What’s Left of Me” below — they married 5 years later.
