The movie is set in New Orleans, of course, and the character of Loretta, played by Patti LaBelle, is based on a real person, Loretta Brown, who started the successful business Loretta&#8217;s Authentic Pralines. She was the first black woman to start a confectionery company in New Orleans. She passed away earlier this year.\u00a0 Keshia Knight Pulliam, whom you may remember as Rudy from &#8220;The Cosby Show,&#8221; or her many other series and movies, stars as an architect, and her real-life husband Brad James plays a competing architect, former school rival and, of course, love interest in this rom-com Christmas movie. The legendary Tim Reid plays Loretta&#8217;s flame Marcel. It was fun to speak with them, along with writer\/director Angela Tucker. Just be prepared to have your mouth water when you watch this movie! Pralines are delicious, and Lifetime kindly sent us a holiday gift basket that included some of Loretta&#8217;s yummy pralines. I was inspired to make some of my own this Christmas as well (although they&#8217;re not nearly as good).<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the video interview!<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview with the cast of &quot;A New Orleans Noel&quot; on Lifetime by Suzanne 11\/7\/22\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GBqVnsC_1JY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>MORE INFO:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36083\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/neworleansnoel1.png\" alt=\"&quot;A New Orleans Noel&quot; key art\" width=\"540\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/neworleansnoel1.png 1033w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/neworleansnoel1-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/neworleansnoel1-1024x297.png 1024w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/neworleansnoel1-768x223.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylifetime.com\/movies\/a-new-orleans-noel\">Trailer and Lifetime Official Site<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"text-component-item-a523d733-7354-11ed-b232-5fe8ca298e1b\" class=\"text-component-item body-copy sanitize-html\" role=\"region\">\n<p>Grace Hill (Keshia Knight Pulliam) and Anthony Brown (Brad James) could not be more different.

Soon, fiercely independent Grace begins to learn the importance of family and community, while modern Anthony learns to embrace tradition and the magic of Christmas.\u00a0But when Grace is offered a new job far away from New Orleans she\u2019ll have to decide if she\u2019ll leave, or follow her heart.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Reid stars as Marcel Lirette, a handsome, retired friend who moves back to town after years away and catches the eye of Lorretta.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A New Orleans Noel<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is produced by Evergreen Films with Daniel Lewis, Rick Carter, Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Leonardis and Keshia Knight Pulliam serving as Executive Producers.
