If you’re anything like me, you’re already deep into your holiday TV viewing. I’m not going to claim every Christmas-themed TV movie is a winner, but you do get a few good premieres every year. One of those fun new movies is Lifetime’s A New Orleans Noel, debuting Saturday, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. The film stars Keshia Knight Pulliam as Grace Hill, an architect forced to work on a renovation with college acquaintance Anthony Brown, played by Brad James. Their differing styles are the basis for romance as they work on the home of Anthony’s grandmother, New Orleans praline icon Loretta Brown, portrayed by the legendary Patti LaBelle. The movie’s director, Angela Tucker, spoke to The Root about her love of holiday movies and making New Orleans a central character of the story.
What makes A New Orleans Noel work so well is that it’s able to find a fresh vibe while staying true to the familiar Christmas movie formula. Before joining the project, Tucker became known for her holiday film reviews on Instagram. Her knowledge and love of the genre, as well as her love of New Orleans, made her the perfect fit for the movie.
