"The Facts of Life" Trio Reunite
by Matt Webb Mitovich
October 21, 2019

Three Eastland alumni have been reunited for a Lifetime holiday movie.

Airing Sunday, December 1, You Light Up My Christmas follows Emma (played by executive producer Kim Fields) as she returns to her hometown built around her family’s Christmas light factory two weeks before Christmas.

But upon her return, Emma discovers the lights have gone dim in the once-festive town (!!!), prompting her to reconnect with an old flame to set their hearts and the town ablaze with light again.

Kim Fields' "The Facts of Life" costars Lisa Whelchel and Mindy Cohn will also appear in the made-for-TV movie.

Nancy McKeon will make an appearance via FaceTime.

Wow, so it's actually the whole core four including Nancy McKeon's FaceTime! Very cool!

Now if only they'd reunited ALL EIGHT girls for a Christmas movie! (in Peekskill!

)

This is very cool! If only Julie Pie or Molly could make an appearance since they're both still acting.

Wonder why Nancy is only doing a “FaceTime” appearance, and not truly appearing in the film. That’s cool, but a bit disappointing.

I would LOVE that, too!

...And while we're asking, might as well ask for Julie and Felice as well!

This is wonderful but sad that only Nancy is appearing via FaceTime. Also, Kim Fields needs to produce us a reunion reboot with Nancy. Give us the redemption that the fans really need!

I'd like to see a new version of The Facts of Life where Kim Fields returns to Eastland School as well as the other girls and they help the other students about life.

I think the series should be called More Facts of Life.

Kim addresses Nancy's "video" appearance only in this Instagram video. My bet is it had to do with her father's passing a few weeks ago.

It’s a shame to find out that Nancy won’t be there in person.
