Heather Locklear and Robert Buckley, Flirting with Forty
Flirting with Forty
9 pm/ET Lifetime
Heather Locklear stars in this cable romance as Jackie Laurens, a recent divorcée who heads to Hawaii to celebrate her 40th birthday. While contemplating the next chapter in her life, she ends up romantically involved with Kyle (Robert Buckley), a sexy — and much younger — surfing instructor. Jackie racks up frequent-flier miles while her vacation fling blossoms, but responsibilities back home disrupt her idyllic escape and the newfound freedom she has discovered. — Rhoda Charles

College Football
12 pm/ET CBS
It's become all about the tradition and pageantry in this classic matchup, because the rivalry has become a bit one-sided of late. The Midshipmen of Navy have dominated, winning six in a row by a combined score of 240-71. While Navy will be headed to its sixth straight bowl game later in the month (the EagleBank Bowl on Dec. 20), Army is trying to avoid its third straight 3-9 season. — Dave Roeder

Paula's Cookie Swap
9 pm/ET Food Network
Y'all will love the tasty treats that butter-lovin' Southern-cuisine queen Paula Deen whips up in this holiday cookie exchange. The special features viewers' recipes and a special visit from the host's sons, Bobby and Jamie, who help prepare their grandmother's sand tarts — a Deen family favorite. Designer David Bromstad from HGTV's Color Splash rounds out the hour with a demonstration of creative ways to wrap up the baked goods. — Karen Andzejewicz

Giants
9 pm/ET CMT
In the series' 2006 debut, Reba McEntire was honored as a giant of country music, and last year it was Hank Williams Jr.'s turn. Tonight that tribute is paid to three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year Alan Jackson, the most-nominated artist in CMA history. A few of his friends will drop by to sing to him, and the list is distinguished: Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, George Strait, Taylor Swift and Lee Ann Womack. — Fred Mitchell
Brush up on Alan in our Online Video Guide.
The Christmas Choir
9 pm/ET Hallmark
Jason Gedrick stars in Hallmark's latest original movie (part of a run of original programming airing on the network through the New Year). Gedrick plays a workaholic accountant who finds a little Christmas spirit when he decides to form a choir at the local men's homeless shelter. Aiding his project is a sassy nun, played by the sharp-tongued and unexpectedly cast Rhea Perlman. — Brie Hearn
