After The Christmas Waltz, people are gearing up for the sequel, Paris Christmas Waltz, which is a part of the Great American Family’s Great American Christmas programming block. Starring Matthew Morrison and Jen Lilley, the movie follows Emma (Lilley) giving up her job for a colleague with a family who will be able to retain his position.
Little does she know where life will take her next as she encounters a professional dancer, Leo (Morrison). When the duo gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the novice to join the pro and sweep all of Paris off of its feet, what unfolds next? Shot in the magical city of Paris, the movie promises to sweep viewers off their feet, too.
