Maria Menounos and Taye Diggs Find Love at Chili’s in Lifetime’s National Margarita Day ‘Movie’ — Watch Trailer

From the network that cast Mario Lopez as H o t Colonel Sanders comes a holiday movie that will have you questioning the meaning of both “holiday” and “movie.”

Maria Menounos and Taye Diggs are set to star in a co-production between Lifetime and Chili’s titled — wait for it — I’ll Be Home for National Margarita Day, a project we’d refuse to believe exists if there wasn’t a trailer to prove it.

Honestly, we feel like we’ve had five margaritas after reading this logline: “The 15-minute original television event tells the story of Liz (Menounos) and Sam (Diggs), former love interests who are reunited atthe 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.”

Executive-produced by Menounos, I’ll Be Home for National Margarita Day also stars Judy Kain, Craig Kolkebeck and Keven Undergaro. The cinematic event premieres Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 10/9c.
