Here, read all about Lacey Chabert’s Hallmark career and what she’s said about working with the beloved brand.
Lacey Chabert’s early Hallmark career
After Elevator Girl, Lacey jumped back onto the Hallmark scene in 2012 when she appeared in Matchmaker Santa. What followed were a series of projects outside of Hallmark, but by 2014, she left her mark in The Color of Rain and A Royal Christmas. Since then, Chabert’s involvement on the network has been nearly nonstop.
“I’ve actually gotten to be a part of watching [the Hallmark Channel] grow as a network, and I’m so proud to be a part of it because I think that their programming—whether it’s the mysteries or the Christmas movies—no matter what, it always ends on an uplifting note,” Chabert shared with Build Series in 2019. “It always finds the uplifting thing in the story and for me, I’m proud of the fact that it just puts a little bit of goodness back in the world. I mean now more than ever I feel like we need a little light and levity and as a company, they’re wonderful to work for.”
Since making her debut, Chabert has stolen hearts as she’s led movies like The Wedding Veil (2022), A Merry Scottish Christmas (2023), Love, Romance & Chocolate (2019), She’s Making a List (2025) and countless others.
From star to producer: Lacey Chabert’s behind-the-scenes influence
After several years of starring on the Hallmark Channel, Chabert has showcased her abilities behind the scenes as well, with her first executive producing credit being on 2016’s A Wish for Christmas. Since then, she has played an important role behind the camera on dozens of films and series, and knowing the joy they bring to viewers is what means the most.
“I think the thing that has become the most rewarding for me and being a part of these movies is when I meet people; the common thread is always ‘Thanks for doing something that’s uplifting,’” Chabert told Forbes. “’Those movies helped me while I was recovering from surgery or going through a difficult time in life.’ At this point, I kind of consider it an honor to be a part of bringing some goodness into the world.”
