This year Danica McKellar shocked her fans and Hallmark Channel viewers by announcing that she was leaving the network and heading over to their new competition Great American Family.  The actress reportedly signed a multi-movie contract with the new network and is already busy at work filming for them.  

Danica’s new GAC movie, Royal Christmas Ball, is set to debut on the network in 2023 as part of their Christmas series.  According to Deadline, “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.”
