2019’s Kelly Rowland-led ‘Merry Liddle Christmas’ movie was such a ratings winner for Lifetime the network rebooted the franchise for a part 2 – 2020’s ‘Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding.’
Coming as the first holiday sequel in the channel’s history, the pressure was on for the film to meet or exceed the performance of its predecessor.
Refreshed Nielsen numbers reveal it did just that.
Details inside:
Viewership = 1.26 million
Executive produced by Kelly and her husband Tim Weatherspoon, ‘Christmas Wedding’ – which reassembled the franchise’s original cast including Thomas Cadrot, Debbi Morgan, Bresha Webb, and more – went to ratings battle against the likes of highly anticipated Hallmark holiday films, “must see” college football, and more on November 28.
Ranking #10 on the list of Saturday’s highest rated cable programs overall, ‘Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding’ also ranked #2 among the most-viewed scripted telecasts of the day.
See the ratings chart below:
Congratulations are due to Kelly and co. as the 1.26 million viewers for ‘Wedding’ bested the original’s viewership by over 200,000!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Kelly!!! Congrats!!
Congrats kelly! Work always pays
Congrats kelly. You’re an amazing singer and actress. You go girl.
Good for her.
Instead of focusing on a music career perhaps THIS is her calling being a Lifetime film actress. Dont stop here Kelly… branch off into other genres.. drama, psychological thrillers, comedy etc
Kelly is stunningly beautiful and there is s market for in this field of entertainment.
Congrats!

Stop putting limitations on this black queen! She can do it alllll!!!!! Music, movies, business ventures, fashion, etc… The music she’s been releasing is for an EP not an album! She’s using the funds from her EP to fund her actual album project next year!!! She will have a whole promotional campaign with her music next year! She wants to be able to perform live on the big stages not virtually so she pushed things back & is giving us an EP to hold us over! Her team no what they are doing…
Who told you she’s using the funds of this EP for her next album ?
It doesn’t even make sense because how is she financing that EP and the videos ? Why isn’t she keeping that money for a full LP ?
I think she knows the fans have been waiting for ages. And she might not get back on the horse in a heartbeat after giving birth.
So she’s dropping a little something and whenever she’ll be ready, we might get an album.
Kelly is a triple threat! Smart and extremely talented and caring. An extraordinarily positive role model for young girls and women. Much continued success Kelly!
Yes and it was great
Kelly has been threw out some tracks constantly but none of them had charted yet. I really enjoy those throwback tracks from bad hair soundtrack tho 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
DO IT KELENDRIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats a flop in comparison the the ratings for the Hallmark movie at the same timeslot.
Oh, you’re that type of hater?SMH That’s why you’ll never win at life!
Only old pple watch hallmark
