Days before starring in her 41st Hallmark Channel movie, “An Unexpected Valentine,” Lacey Chabert has cemented her status as the Queen of Hallmark.
On January 29, 2025, the corporation announced that the actress has signed an over-arching deal that includes new movies, her first-ever product line with Hallmark Cards, and a second season of her 2024 unscripted series, “Celebrations With Lacey Chabert.”
Lacey Chabert’s New Hallmark Partnership Includes ‘Extending Her Multi-Picture Deal’
Chabert whose first Hallmark movie was 2011’s “Elevator Girl,” has been a perennial favorite among Hallmark fans over the years, including starring in over a dozen popular Christmas movies. In 2024, she surprised fans by also starring in a holiday movie on Netflix, the instant hit “Hot Frosty,” but her new deal guarantees she’ll have a major presence at Hallmark for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the upcoming “An Unexpected Valentine” co-starring Robert Buckley, Hallmark said in its press announcement that Chabert’s new arrangement includes “extending her multi-picture movie deal, where she will star in, develop, and produce Hallmark film projects into 2025 and beyond.”
Her unscripted Hallmark+ series “Celebrations With Lacey Chabert” will also return for a second season, in 2025. In eight new episodes, Chabert and her party planning team — L.A.-based event planners Lisa Friedman and Marisa Lainer — will continue to surprise individuals who’ve been “chosen for their extraordinary efforts to uplift those around them,” per Hallmark.
As in the first season, each everyday hero will be “treated to fabulous, one-of-a-kind celebrations designed to honor their impact in a deeply meaningful way.” It’s not clear if the series will continue to focus on recipients near L.A. Before the series premiere in September, she told Southern Living that she hoped to branch out if the show got renewed.
“We have so many ideas of different places we could go and different types of parties we could throw and I hope we have the chance to tell other people’s stories,” she said.
Details on Lacey Chabert’s New Hallmark Product Line
HallmarkOn top of continuing her Hallmark movies and series, Chabert, 42, will also launch her first-ever product line with Hallmark Media’s parent company, Hallmark Cards, in 2025.
Building on her love of party planning, the Lacey Chabert Collection will include “holiday must-haves” such as greeting cards, gift wrap and “unique entertaining essentials” that Hallmark said will be available later this year and be “inspired by vintage Hallmark designs.”
After the holiday season, Chabert’s product line will extend into 2026 with “everyday products that help people create joyful memories year-round,” available exclusively at Hallmark Gold Crown Stores.
In a statement, Chabert said, “Ever since I was a little girl, I have sincerely loved the universally positive experience of shopping at a Hallmark store, so to be able to work on this collection that will allow other people and their families to create memories of their own has been such a treat and full circle for me.”
Lacey, I love your movies, it’s makes me feel good.. ( I am sorry, but I cannot watch movies with Gay story lines or on the show. I watch Hallmark with my kids) Lacey please DO NOT HAVE YOUR MERCHANDISE MADE IN COMMUNIST CHINA. I was born in COMMUNIST POLAND. HGTV AND ALL CHEFS AND MARTHA STEWART EVERYTHING MADE IN CHINA.. Then China uses the money to build their MILITARY AGAINST US.. Chinese people are poor..
I am so happy for you Ms. Chabert. Honestly really happy as a fan of yours and Hallmark. Blessings for much happiness.
Congratulations Lacey. You are what has made Hallmark cable so watched. You have such a positive attitude, and your pleasantness is appreciated more than you know by viewers.
I am so glad to see Hallmark showing some loyalty to the stars who put it where it is in the cable TV ratings. In the past couple of years Hallmark has not been what it was – maybe this is an indicator that Hallmark is going back to what it had and was known to be good.
I wish Lacey would make another Hallmark movie with Tyler Hynes. They were in two movies and I loved the chemistry between them.
