Brandy Returns to Lifetime for ‘Christmas Everyday Again’ With Daughter Sy’rai

Brandy is returning to Lifetime for another holiday celebration.

The Grammy Award-winning singer and actress will reprise her role as Chicago fashion designer Francine “Fancy” Ballantine in Christmas Everyday Again (working title), a follow-up to last year’s Christmas Everyday.

Brandy will also executive produce the film, which recently wrapped production and is part of Lifetime’s 2026 It’s a Wonderful Lifetime holiday slate.

“I’m so excited to step back into Fancy’s world,” Brandy said. “Making Christmas Everyday was such a special experience, and I’m thrilled that audiences will get to continue this journey with these characters.”

Brandy’s return also brings her real-life daughter, Sy’rai Smith, back to the screen as Belle, Fancy’s younger sister. Debbi Morgan returns as their mother, Evelyn, while Robert C. Riley reprises his role as Fancy’s fiancé, Jaylen.

In Christmas Everyday Again, Fancy is preparing for what could be the biggest season of her life. As she works to secure the future of her thriving boutique, she is also planning her dream Christmas wedding to Jaylen.

With Evelyn and Belle by her side, Fancy appears to have everything falling into place. But mounting pressure at the business, coupled with the unexpected return of a reformed ex, forces Fancy to confront how much she has been carrying on her own.

Christmas Everyday Again is produced by FOX Entertainment Studios, Relevé Entertainment and Motion Entertainment, a WPP Media company, for Lifetime.
