A Pickleball Christmas, starring James Lafferty and Zibby Allen, sounds like a winner that people should be excited about.
"Fresh off the biggest win of his career, tennis star Luke Hollis (James Lafferty) heads home to Florida for Christmas, only to discover his family's racquet club is on the verge of being sold. Teaming up with Caroline (Zibby Allen), the club's pickleball coach, Luke reluctantly agrees to compete in a high-stakes holiday tournament that could save the club," said the official movie description. "As sparks fly both on and off the court, Luke realizes the greatest victory might just be love, family, and a new chapter at home."
Lafferty is best known for his portrayal of Nathan Scott on the TV series One Tree Hill. Allen is best known for her role as Brie Sheridan on the TV series Virgin River.
A Pickleball Christmas premieres on Lifetime on Saturday, Dec. 20 at 8:00 p.m.
