Lacey Chabert’s Hallmark Movies: A Guide, Unofficial Ranking (1)

27

Lacey Chabert has become one of Hallmark’s biggest stars after making her network debut in 2010 — and she has no plans to stop anytime soon.

“These movies mean so much to me. I really am genuine when I say that,” Chabert exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2021. “They’re not just jobs, and I feel a responsibility to the audience to make the absolute best movie I can.”

Chabert — who has starred in more than 10 Christmas-themed movies for Hallmark since 2012’s Matchmaker Santa — noted that she tries to “raise the bar” on each project to keep fans coming back for more.

“[When] someone lets you into their living room for two hours, it’s kind of an honor,” she explained toUs. “I want to leave people with a good feeling.”

Chabert’s Hallmark legacy doesn’t end with holiday features. She has helmed multiple franchises and year-round rom-coms in her tenure.
