Early this morning, while practicing her dance steps for her upcoming Christmas movie for Great American Family, which requires learning the Viennese waltz, actress Jen Lilley, who is a busy mother to four young children with her husband, Jason, shared some exciting Christmas movie news while responding to followers comments.

Between dance breaks, Jen revealed that she would be traveling to Paris to film her new Christmas movie with producers/director Janeen and Michael Damian next month. Even though Jen has never learned this particular waltz or Cha-cha, which are both required for the film, she said she told the Damians that she is a very hard worker and dedicated to learning, even if it means she has to get up very early in the morning to do so.
Last month, an official announcement was made revealing filmmakers Janeen and Michael Damian inked 3 movie deals with Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America. One of those films is Paris Christmas Waltz, which is being described as a follow-up to Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp's popular Christmas movie, The Christmas Waltz. Since both Lacey and Will have contracts with Hallmark, it's apparent they won't be seen in this follow-up film, which will be airing on Great American Family this upcoming Christmas season. No word, yet, on who Jen Lilley's dancing partner will be!
Here is the video of Jen Lilley practicing and sharing this wonderful news on Instagram with her followers...

My Quick Take:
I am thrilled to share this Christmas movie news with you all today!
From the moment I first watched the movie, A Princess for Christmas in 2011 and learned that Michael and Janeen Damian were the ones behind the creation of this spectacular, heartwarming Christmas film, I knew they were something extra special! Since then, many of the movies they have made over the years have been mine and overall fan-favorites, including Christmas Waltz, A Royal Christmas, A Hot Cocoa Christmas, etc...
And I have a feeling Jen Lilley is going to waltz her way into our hearts this Christmas on Great American Family!

My comments: Christmas Waltz was the last great movie Lacey made for Hallmark. And I accepted long ago that there wasn't going to be a sequel because both stars are clearly not into it (they're doing a really dumb sounding dancing mystery movie).
I'm glad though that this great network will be doing a follow up though. And these producers are awesome! I've seen every Christmas movie they've made for Hallmark and GAF and loved all of them!
