January is a month of romance and laughs as ABC Family airs the network premieres of LETTERS TO JULIET on Sunday, January 6 at 9PM ET/PT and RAMONA AND BEEZUS on Saturday, January 12 at 8PM ET/PT.

In "Letters to Juliet," Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) travels to Verona, where she discovers a secret network of women who answer letters written to Shakespeare's most famous heroine, Juliet. After joining the group, she meets an older woman (Vanessa Redgrave) and her grandson (Chris Egan), who teach her about true love and second chances.

In "Ramona and Beezus," based on the best-selling books by Beverly Cleary, Ramona (Joey King) is a little girl with a nose for mischief. Her antics keep everyone on their toes, including her older sister Beezus (Selena Gomez of "Wizards of Waverly Place"), who's just trying to survive her first year of high school. Through all the ups and downs, Ramona and Beezus learn that anything's possible when you rely on each other.
