National Margarita Day lands on a Saturday this year, giving you all the more reason to celebrate with the signature tequila-based cocktail.

Chili's and Lifetime have even collaborated on a short film starring Taye Diggs and Maria Menounos called "I'll Be Home for National Margarita Day," which gives the make-believe holiday treatment on par with Christmas.

"They really brought the spirit of the holiday – a celebration spent with your favorite margarita and favorite people – to life," Diggs said in a press release.

You can watch the 15-minute short on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET or stream it on mylifetime.com, in the Lifetime app, YouTube and other social platforms for a limited time. Chili's is also selling Margarita Merch seen in the Lifetime television event on its website.

You can also opt for the cocktail Taye Diggs mixes in "I’ll be Home for National Margarita Day,” the Presidente Margarita, made with Lunazul Reposado Tequila, Citrónge Extra Fine Orange Liqueur and E&J Brandy, available in classic, mango, strawberry and watermelon.

That recipe adds brandy to the margarita, a cocktail that began emerging at bars in the '40s with the basic ingredients of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, such as triple sec.
