The protagonist of the new Hallmark Channel holiday movie Christmas Waltz is a young woman named Avery (Lacey Chabert). She’s heartbroken when her storybook Christmas wedding is cancelled (her fiancé called it quits) but she finds solace in dance. Her handsome British dance instructor Roman (Will Kemp) helps Avery face her fears and teaches her how to dance like a professional ballroom dancer.
