Young widow Laura Trudeau (Alexa PenaVega) was a remarkable dancer. Now working as a project manager in Los Angeles, she is tasked with renovating a dilapidated lodge in her hometown of Rosemont, Utah and have it ready by Christmas Eve. She is stunned to discover it’s the same lodge where she and her former love and dance partner Ricardo Archuleta (Carlos PenaVega) performed each Christmas. While surveying the property Laura comes face-to-face with Ricardo and is shocked to discover he is rehearsing the show’s grand finale with his new dance partner Taylor (Chelsie Hightower, “Dancing with the Stars”). When Taylor has an audition abroad, Laura temporarily steps in and finds herself back in Ricardo’s arms. Feelings begin to resurface in the hope of rekindling their romance when Taylor returns with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ricardo to go on tour with her. Laura, not wanting to get in the way of Carlos’ dream, encourages him to take the job. Now with both the hotel opening and the show in jeopardy, Laura has to make some difficult decisions, both personally and professionally. # # # CONTACT: Maria Fischer, (818) 755-2686, [email protected] -- HALLMARK CHANNEL -- .
