Yesterday, Hallmark Channel surprised viewers with a 30-second spot teasing a reteam from Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker, who are set to appear in the holiday movie She’s Making a List, marking the pair’s first reunion since 2018’s My Secret Valentine and the performers’ first Christmas-themed pic.
The movie, which is currently in production and is Chabert’s 16th Hallmark holiday film, is set to premiere during the cable network’s 16th annual “Countdown to Christmas” programming event, with next-day streaming on Hallmark+.
“Bringing Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker together for their first-ever Hallmark Christmas movie is a dream come true for our fans,” said Jennifer Kramer, Vice President of Programming at Hallmark Media. “She’s Making a List captures the heart, humor, and holiday magic our viewers love, and we can’t wait to share this unforgettable story with them this season.”
The official logline is as follows: “When Naughty or Nice inspector Isabel Haynes (Chabert) is assigned to evaluate mischievous 11-year-old Charlie Duncan, she expects a routine case. But things get complicated when Isabel unexpectedly falls for Charlie’s widowed father, Jason Duncan (Walker), and begins to question the rigid rules of her job. As Christmas approaches, Isabel must choose between following the holiday algorithm or following her heart.”
“Reuniting with Andrew after all these years to do our first Christmas movie together is such a joy,” the Mean Girls alumna said. “Andrew brings so much heart, humor, and warmth to every role, and working with him again felt like coming home. I am thrilled to do this one together … finally.”
Walker, who’s appeared in Three Wise Men and a Baby, added, “What a gift it is to reunite with Lacey seven years after our Valentine’s movie. She truly is the Queen of Christmas not just for the heart she brings to every role, but for her incredible talent. She brings warmth, heart, and comedy with such ease, and she adapts to every role with a grace and talent that makes everyone around her better.”
From Hallmark Media, executive producers include Chabert and Veronica Brown. The movie is produced by Charles Cooper, and Stacey N. Harding is directing from a script by Joey DePaolo.
