It's Hard To Tell What's Real Anymore: Lifetime's I'll be Home for National Margarita Day

“I'll be Home for National Margarita Day” premieres Wednesday, February 19th at 10:00 p.m. EST on Lifetime. The 15-minute television event will air again on Lifetime in celebration of the holiday (Feb. 22) at 2pm ET and will be available for streaming on mylifetime.com, the Lifetime app, YouTube, social and VOD platforms starting Feb. 20 for a limited time.

Yes, this isn't fake. Lifetime just doesn't care. It knows what it is and it's a brand that makes a 15-minute movie about margaritas to be paid lots of money by Chili's.


Premiering on Lifetime on Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 10pm ET, margaritas aren't the only thing being shaken up in Ferguson Falls, a small town where National Margarita Day is the biggest event of the year, with Chili's at the heart of the festivities. The 15-minute original television event tells the story of Liz (Maria Menounos) and Sam (Taye Diggs), former love interests who are reunited at the local Chili's when Liz returns to her hometown, desperate to escape the big city's overpriced margaritas. Everything seems perfect until a big-city developer's plans to build condos threatens to ruin the town's National Margarita Day traditions. Liz and Sam must work together to stop the developer and save National Margarita Day, rekindling their relationship in the process. Additional cast include Judy Kain, Craig Kolkebeck and Keven Undergaro.

Wtf?
