What is Paris Christmas Waltz about?

Per GAC, “In Paris Christmas Waltz, Emma relinquishes her job so a colleague with a family will keep his. Contemplating life’s next steps, Emma meets a professional dancer, Leo whose love for competitive dancing is waning, until a once in a lifetime opportunity arises for the novice to join the pro and sweep all of Paris off its feet.”

It’s being toted as a sequel to The Christmas Waltz, which aired in 2020 on Hallmark Channel featuring Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp. Michael and Janeen Damian were the duo who brought the original film to life, and they will do the same for Paris Christmas Waltz. Janeen is producing, and Michael is directing from the original screenplay they co-wrote.

Speaking of Michael, he posted a snapshot from Paris, where the movie is shooting on location. “Beaucoup bisous from Paris! 🥰 #ParisChristmasWaltz 🎥💃🕺,” he wrote.
