By Movieguide® Contributor
The Great American Family Network has planned to bring back Christmas in July which is set to start June 30 and run through the month of July.
There will be plenty of old Christmas films played but there will also be one brand new film.
A BELGIUM CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS follows the story of a young photographer who takes her best friend’s place at a Belgium culinary school. She then forms a relationship with a chocolatier leading the class and romance forms. The one problem she faces is an identity crisis.
The film is set to premier on Saturday July 8 at 8 p.m. E.T. The film stars Jaclyn Hales and Zane Stephens.
In addition, the network announced that production has begun on the film PARIS CHRISTMAS WALTZ, which was written by Michael Damian and his wife, Janeen Damian.
