LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentucky Fried
Chicken® and Lifetime® are teaming up to bring consumers the
perfect distraction from all things 2020: the holiday Lifetime
Original Mini-Movie, "A Recipe for Seduction." Featuring veteran
actor and star of Lifetime's FelizNaviDAD Mario Lopez as Colonel Harland Sanders, the first-of-its kind 15-minute
Lifetime Original Mini-Movie is full of mystery, suspense,
deception, "fowl" play and - at the heart of it all - love and
fried chicken. "A Recipe For Seduction" premieres on Lifetime
Sunday, December 13 at 12 p.m. ET/PT.
To enhance the viewing experience of deep-fried holiday romance,
consumers can order KFC on Uber Eats for delivery and get six free
extra crispy™ tenders with a $20
purchase or more.* While enjoying the delicious taste of the
Colonel's secret 11 Herbs & Spices, viewers can share in all
the drama of this steamy holiday love affair as they watch a young
heiress contend with the affections of a suitor handpicked by her
mother. But when a handsome, young chef with a secret fried chicken
recipe and a dream arrives, he sets in motion a series of events
that unravel the mother's devious plans.
"We're no stranger to heating things up for the holidays, just
like our famous fried chicken scented Firelog. But let's face it,
we could all use a little distraction this holiday season, so why
not fill some of your time at home with a suspenseful drama and the
comfort of our world-famous fried chicken?" said Andrea Zahumensky, KFC U.S. CMO. "'A Recipe for
Seduction' is a perfect excuse to curl up at home and escape to
your own happily ever after."
"A Recipe for Seduction" is Lifetime and KFC's first-ever
branded custom mid-form content. The Lifetime Original Mini-Movie
is a playful addition to Lifetime's It's A Wonderful
Lifetime movie slate, which continues to be the fan-favorite
destination for holiday content. After its linear premiere, "A
Recipe for Seduction" will continue to be available throughout the
holiday season on mylifetime.com/christmas-movies, all Lifetime
apps, and video-on-demand (VOD) platforms.
"Lifetime is the perfect holiday home to bring this spicy,
unexpected tale to life," said David
DeSocio, EVP, Ad Sales Marketing & Partnerships, A+E
Networks. "Through a terrific cast, and with a wink to the unique
sensibilities celebrated in Lifetime movies, this co-production
spotlights each brand's POV and marries them in a fun and authentic
way. A+E Networks delivers custom creative that our audiences and
clients love."
Mario Lopez (Colonel Harland Sanders) stars in Lifetime's
FelizNaviDAD, part of It's A Wonderful Lifetime's

Spices Firelog, to vintage-inspired holiday buckets that bring a

season with a fun film and a mouth-watering Uber Eats offer to help
