GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY ANNOUNCES DANICA MCKELLAR SET TO STAR IN

ROYAL CHRISTMAS BALL,

ORIGINAL MOVIE FOR GREAT AMERICAN CHRISTMAS 2023

NEW YORK, NY – February 15, 2023 – Great American Family today announced Danica McKellar is set to star in, Royal Christmas Ball, an original holiday movie premiering as part of the network’s highly anticipated annual holiday event, Great American Christmas 2023. In addition to starring in the film, “Dancing With the Stars” alum McKellar wrote the story with Marcy Holland and serves as one of the film’s executive producers. Teleplay by Marcy Holland.

In Royal Christmas Ball, Chelsea Shaw, a Chicago-based dance instructor whose adoptive parents have long since passed, travels to the small European country of Havenshire over Christmas break in search of her heritage… and maybe even family. Discovering that the only way to get access to information she needs on her quest is via the royal family, she accepts an offer to teach a very reluctant Prince a special Waltz for the traditional Royal Christmas Ball. By the end of this Christmas adventure, Chelsea finds love, answers to her deepest questions, and yes, family.

Royal Christmas Ball is executive produced by Brad Krevoy, Danica McKellar, Kathy Ceroni, and Kelly Martin. Producer is David Anselmo. Writer is Marcy Holland.
