Few Hallmark stars have had the staying power of actress Lacey Chabert, whose first movie with the network was 2010’s “Elevator Girl.” While other familiar faces have come and gone from the network, Chabert continues to show up and raise the stakes.
In 2025, Chabert not only starred in two of the top five Hallmark movies of the year, but she also launched her own Hallmark home product line and hosted the second season of her unscripted series. Three months into 2026, it looks like this year will be just as busy for one of Hallmark’s biggest stars.
Lacey Chabert Just Keeps Adding Hallmark Projects in 2026
HallmarkChabert has starred in over 40 Hallmark movies, per IMDb. She continues producing and acting in new titles every year. She kicked off 2026 with “Lost in Paradise,” a tropical survival romance co-starring Ian Harding, where a fashion CEO and a chef become stranded on a deserted island together.
On March 3, Hallmark revealed Chabert was in Paris, filming a new series for Hallmark+ that is based on Jenn McKinlay’s popular book, “Paris Is Always a Good Idea.” The show will film in France and Spain.
According to People, the six-episode series co-stars Scott Michael Foster, “Hannah Swensen Mysteries” star Barbara Niven, Rebecca Hanssen and Henry Czerny. Chabert has shared videos during downtime on her European shoot.
Lacey Chabert’s Disney World Movie Is a Full-Circle Moment
HallmarkAnother huge project for Chabert this year has already wrapped filming — “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True,” set to premiere during Hallmark’s 2026 Countdown to Christmas. According to a press release from Hallmark, Chabert and Travis Van Winkle star as two people who had a disastrous first date and find themselves at Disney World at the same time, with adjoining rooms and unavoidable chemistry.
Hallmark announced the collaboration during the network’s Christmas special in December, marking the first time the network has announced a Countdown to Christmas a full year in advance, according to Parade.
Hallmark’s Chief Brand Officer Darren Abbott said in a statement, “The history between Hallmark and Disney dates back decades, when a shared Kansas City connection and friendship between Hallmark’s founder, J.C. Hall, and Walt Disney himself led to our first-ever licensed products, including the very first greeting card featuring Mickey Mouse.”
He continued, “We’re thrilled to expand our partnership beyond the products we create together and onto the screen with this heartwarming and joyful Christmas movie that embodies the very best of both brands.”
Lacey Chabert’s Deal With Hallmark Goes Way Beyond Acting
GettyIn early 2025, Hallmark announced an expanded multi-year partnership with Chabert spanning film, series, and products. The network extended her multi-picture movie deal and filmed a second season of her unscripted series “Celebrations with Lacey Chabert,” which she hosted and executive produced.
Hallmark also launched an exclusive Lacey Chabert product collection, available in Hallmark Gold Crown stores on Hallmark.com, featuring holiday lifestyle products and everyday items. Hallmark expanded the line with a spring “refresh” in early March. She is not just a Hallmark star. She has become a Hallmark brand.
Love Lacey Chabert and every show she is in. She is so talented, kind and relatable. Hallmark couldn’t have picked a better person to showcase and represent their brand.
I couldn’t agree more!
Please show “Elevator Girl” on one of your channels.
Thanks
