Lacey Chabert is widely recognized as a leading figure in the genre of Christmas television movies, a status cemented since the 2010s through her extensive work with Hallmark Channel, the global leader in romantic comedies and holiday films. She has appeared in over forty Hallmark productions, including notable successes such as the 'Haul Out the Holly' saga, 'A Melody of Christmas', and 'Christmas Waltz'. Her career in the holiday genre makes her a familiar face during the end-of-year season for audiences in various markets. [1]

In late 2026, Chabert continues to be active in the industry with upcoming project announcements. Her film 'Le Trésor de Noël' (The Christmas Treasure) is scheduled for broadcast on the French channel TMC on Saturday, November 14, at 13:35.

As of the announcement, no broadcast date for France has been confirmed for the latter film. [1]

Since 2024, she serves as executive producer and host of the program 'Celebrations with Lacey Chabert', which organizes surprise parties for individuals who have distinguished themselves through positive actions and community engagement. In 2026, she is also featured in a six-episode mini-series titled 'Paris is Always a Good Idea', available exclusively on Hallmark+. [1]
