Christmas might be over, but the festive spirit still continues on Hallmark channel. Their New Year New Movies begins with 'Taking A Shot At Love', which will air on January 2021. If you're still in the mood for some cheery good rom-coms, then probably this one is for you. Here's what we know about the film.

Release date

'Taking A Shot At Love' will release on January 2 on Hallmark at 9 pm.

Plot details

It doesn't take a genius to figure it out, the title says it all. Jenna is a professional ballet dancer who teaches ballet to children in Connecticut, and one day her sports agent cousin asks her to help with the rehab of his hockey player client Ryan “Coop” Cooper. After the rent on her dance studio increases, several students drop out of her class to join a competitive dance group, and so Jenna has to take the job. Destiny has something in mind: Coop is forced to embrace ballet as therapy, as that is his only way to get back on the ice. He rents the house on Jenna's farm and after a glitchy start, he begins to follow her instructions and makes progress in his recovery. Needless to say, romance begins to blossom between them. However, it's soon time for him to return to NYC, and he and Jenna need to decide what paths they want to take. 

The synopsis reads: "Former professional ballet dancer Jenna works with NHL star Ryan Cooper to help him recover from an injury using ballet as therapy, and as they grow close, he helps her mend her injured heart. But when it’s time for Ryan to return to the ice and leave Jenna and her small, Connecticut town, they both must consider the paths they want to take and just maybe, love will find its way."
