What Is Lifetime’s A New Orleans Noel About?
According To The Futon Critic, Grace Hill (Pulliam) and Anthony Brown (James) are architects hired to work together. Fueled by a passion for architecture, they went to college together. However, their interests took them on separate paths. Now, they are on polar opposite ends.
Therefore, they are presented with a challenge when New Orleans praline icon, Loretta Brown (LaBelle) insists the two work on her home. That means working over the Christmas holidays for the pair. However, Loretta is busy on her own. An old friend, Marcel Lirette (Reid), has retired and moved back to New Orleans, and sparks are flying!
Unfortunately, Grace is going to be celebrating the holidays alone. Anthony and his family step up and invite her to experience their special holiday traditions.
This experience has made Grace appreciate the importance of family over the holidays. As for Anthony, he is now embracing Christmas magic.
But, could a job offer away from New Orleans force Grace to decide if she wants to stay for love, or continue to build her career, alone?
