For a while, actor Lacey Chabert has been tapped The Queen of Hallmark Christmas. At the start of 2025, Hallmark signed an exclusive contract with Chabert, and as far as I know, the only such contract ever signed by the media concern, locking in talent. What numbers they had on hand to drive that decision must have been pretty interesting.
This year, Chabert would go on to star in a Halloween movie, this movie - She's Making a List (2025) , and in January, she's starring in a movie about being stranded in paradise. She has both her own product line in Hallmark stores, and Keepsake - a line of ornaments at Hallmark - released a Lacey Chabert ornament. Not a "here's a Star Trek character" ornament, just a Lacey Chabert ornament.
Just before starting on this post, NathanC sent me an article from Variety that states Chabert is filming a Hallmark movie at Disney World for Christmas 2026. So, she's doing okay, if you're wondering.
So, for Hallmark and Chabert both, a LOT was riding on the film. Would all this investment pay off?
