What makes A Cowboy Christmas Romance a "grown-up romance?" Let's just say things are going to get a little steamy in the new Lifetime movie, part of It's a Wonderful Lifetime 2023.
Lifetime's senior vice-president of scripted content Tia Maggini told Variety that A Cowboy Christmas Romance is a little different than your traditional holiday fare. "We think that there's an audience out there that's hungry for grown-up romance, and we're looking forward to adding some smolder to the usual holiday sugar and spice. We love trying new things, and we're excited about this new 'first' for us for a holiday movie."
The script was written by Grey's Anatomy alum Sarah Drew, who spoke with star Jana Kramer about the steamy scenes in an episode of the Whine Down podcast.
"Spoiler alert — he lays me down on some hay, and then we, you know," Kramer said. "Obviously, it's still Lifetime, it's still family. But it was pushing limits there, too… They didn't cut anything. I was so happy that they really left it all in there."
