Tis the season for giving at Lifetime and Fox New Channel.Gift of a Lifetime. Each year during the holiday season, Lifetime honors a woman who has been identified as demonstrating selfless service. As the above video shows, this year the network  partnered with DirecTV and the nonprofit Blue Star Families organization to give back to not just one woman but eleven military spouses.

Also this week, Fox & Friends’ 12 Days of Giving kicked off with Elizabeth Dole Foundation CEO Steve Schwab surprising retired NYPD Sergent Chris Traumer with $10,000 dollars to help him care for his US Air Force veteran father. Catch the clip here (it ends with a heartwarming twist involving co-host Ainsley Earhardt).
