Uncover Lacey Chabert's Christmas Movie Gems
'Christmas Waltz' (2020)
A recent fan favorite, "Christmas Waltz" pairs Chabert with Hallmark's Will Kemp. Kemp, a former professional dancer turned Hallmark hunk, plays a dance instructor who heals Chabert's heart. After her dream Christmas wedding is called off, this film showcases their great chemistry. They've starred in three Hallmark films together, and their dynamic in "Christmas Waltz" is both cute and a bit silly, similar to the charm of "Hot Frosty".
The super-sweet dynamic between Chabert and Dustin Milligan in "Hot Frosty" makes "Christmas Waltz" a perfect pick. It's a heartwarming tale set during the holiday season, with beautiful dancing and a touch of romance.
"Haul Out the Holly" (2023)
If you're seeking a movie with its own unhinged energy like "Hot Frosty", "Haul Out the Holly" is the one. Chabert stars as Emily, who returns home for the holidays only to be tasked with delivering extravagant decorations. She battles with the pedantic HOA president, played by Wes Brown. Their romance is a testament to Chabert's charm and Brown's talents.
This is the silliest of Chabert's Christmas movies before "Hot Frosty", and it has a sequel, "Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up". Both are currently streaming on Netflix, offering plenty of holiday fun.
"A Royal Christmas" (2014)
In the royal Christmas romance genre, "A Royal Christmas" stands out. Chabert plays an all-American tailor who falls in love with a prince. When they return to his home castle for Christmas, she clashes with his traditional Queen Mother (Jane Seymour) but bonds with the royal staff.
Netflix is no stranger to royalty romances with franchises like "A Christmas Prince" and "The Princess Switch". This Hallmark movie provides a natural transition into the world of royal Christmas tales.
"A Merry Scottish Christmas" (2023)
For those who love the U.K. vibes but not the royal drama, "A Merry Scottish Christmas" is a great choice. Chabert reunites with her "Party of Five" co-star Scott Wolf as siblings. They travel to Scotland to uncover family secrets and Chabert sparks a connection with a charming local Scotsman.
This movie offers a refreshing change with its sibling focus and a touch of nostalgia for fans who grew up watching the duo. It's a sweet holiday watch with beautiful Scottish scenery.
'Winter in Vail' (2020)
Set in Vail, Colorado, "Winter in Vail" is like stepping into a wintery snow globe. Chabert inherits a home there and connects with a handsome local, Tyler Hynes, as they prepare a Strudelfest. With majestic alpine scenery and wintery luxury, it's a great early-season pick for those not ready to fully embrace Christmas.
This movie combines the beauty of winter with a heartwarming story, making it a unique addition to Chabert's Christmas movie collection.
'Black Christmas' (2006)
Not a traditional Christmas rom-com? "Black Christmas" is a wildcard option. This early-aughts remake of Bob Clark's slasher film is campy and was initially panned but has found its defenders. Chabert has a minor role in this unique holiday offering.
It offers a different kind of holiday experience for those looking for something outside the box.
