It's A Wonderful Lifetime continues to deliver heartwarming stories about family, love, and the beauty of the holiday season.
And A New Orleans Noel is the unmissable award-winning film on Lifetime's slate stacked with talented, beloved stars from Keshia Knight Pulliam to Patti Labelle. It is both a beautiful tribute to the Queen of Pralines, Loretta Harrison, and the city of New Orleans itself.
It's genuinely one of the most heartwarming films of the season. And TV Fanatic had the pleasure of speaking with director and co-writer Angela Tucker about it all. Check it out!
First off, congratulations on it winning the Audience Award at the New Orleans Film Festival. Are you still riding high from that honor? That was huge!
Yeah, it's so great. When you make these movies, you don't always get an opportunity to have them be in a film festival or get to see them in a theater.
