Mario Lopez in Lifetime's KFC-Themed Movie Trailer

Lifetime is known for its women-in-peril TV movies, so it's ironic that the one month out of the year where they put that on the back burner to focus on holiday fare, they've partnered with Kentucky Fried Chicken to drop a mini-movie mockery of their usual content.

Mario Lopez stars as "Harland Sanders, the new chef" in A Recipe for Seduction, where the beefy "chicken man" catches the eye of Jessica, much to the consternation of her fiancé and her mother, who are secretly having an affair with each other. 

"Harland claims to have some secret recipe."

"A secret recipe? Spare me."

"We all have our secrets."

A Recipe for Seduction airs December 13 at 12:00 PM ET on Lifetime.
