After more than 15 years as a leading lady of Hallmark, Lacey Chabert, 43, has starred in over 40 productions for the family-friendly network.
While she’s known to star in several Hallmark movies per year, Chabert’s fans are especially excited about her holiday-themed films.
During a Hallmark panel at a Television Critics Association press event held on Wednesday, August 5, details about Chabert’s next starring role in a Hallmark movie were revealed.
While discussing what’s to come for the network, President of Hallmark Media and Hallmark Chief Brand Officer Darren Abbott and Head of Programming for Hallmark Media Michelle Vicart disclosed the official premiere date for Chabert’s upcoming holiday film “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True.”
When Does ‘Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True’ Premiere?
According to Laughing Place, “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True” will premiere on Saturday, November 28, at 8/7c. The movie will stream on Hallmark+ the following day.
Chabert previously opened up to PEOPLE about her upcoming Countdown to Christmas film being her dream production, telling the outlet that starring in the network’s first-ever movie that was filmed onsite at Walt Disney World was one of her bucket list acting roles.
“I fell over when they called me and asked me to be a part of this,” Chabert shared. “It’s such a dream come true. I get so excited about every movie I have the chance to make for Hallmark. We put our hearts and souls into them, and it’s just so nice to get to be a part of something that brings people joy, and to get to do it at a place that has brought me so much joy in my life, is a magical combination.”
Chabert added that filming at Walt Disney World was also exciting for sentimental reasons. “I love visiting here with my family, and I always thought it would make the absolute perfect setting for a Hallmark Christmas movie,” Chabert said of her daughter Julia, 9, and husband, David Nehdar.
The Cast of ‘Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True’
“Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True” stars Chabert as Lindsey, who brings her extended family to Walt Disney World for the holidays. While there, Lindsey becomes entangled in an unavoidable — and tense — relationship with her neighbor Philip, played by Travis Van Winkle.
When a wish is made at Cinderella Fountain, a spark between Lindsey and Philip ignites a storybook ending neither of them was expecting — because after all, what’s Disney without a little magic?
In addition to Chabert and Winkle, “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True” stars former Disney star Christy Carlson Romano, Richard Kind, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns, and Asher Alexander.
While waiting for Chabert’s next Hallmark film to premiere, fans can tune into the six-episode series “Paris Is Always a Good Idea,” currently airing exclusively Thursdays on Hallmark+. New episodes will air each week until August 27.
