STUDIO CITY, Calif., Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hallmark and Lacey Chabert are entering the new year with many reasons to celebrate. Audiences and fans worldwide cherish Chabert's warmth, creativity, and heartfelt way of helping people care and connect, both on and off the screen. And new for Holiday 2025, the Queen of Hallmark Christmas movies is partnering with Hallmark to bring an exclusive product collection to Hallmark Gold Crown Stores and Hallmark.com.

This all-new collection of holiday lifestyle products is the ultimate solution for hosting festive celebrations throughout the season, while creating new traditions with family and friends. Available later this year, the new collection features holiday must-haves including greeting cards, gift wrap and unique entertaining essentials—all with Lacey's signature touch and distinctive details inspired by vintage Hallmark designs. Beyond the holiday season, the Lacey Chabert Collection will extend into 2026 with everyday products that help people create joyful memories year-round.

"Our fans resonate deeply with Lacey's unique ability to help us tell meaningful stories at the holidays and throughout the year," said Darren Abbott, Hallmark Chief Brand Officer. "Her warmth and authenticity continuously inspires fans on the entertainment side of our business, and now we're proud to help extend that positive impact through this special product collaboration across our retail footprint."

Coming off a banner year in 2024, Chabert's recent work with the leading entertainment destination spanned such success as starring in her 40th original Hallmark movie (The Christmas Quest) and debuting Celebrations with Lacey Chabert, a new, original unscripted series, which she executive produced, as part of the company's robust foray into unscripted programming on Hallmark+. Chabert will continue her partnership with Hallmark Media through hosting and executive producing a second season of Celebrations with Lacey Chabert, as well extending her multi-picture movie deal, where she will star in, develop, and produce Hallmark film projects into 2025 and beyond.

"I'm incredibly grateful to continue to star in, develop and produce inspiring and rewarding projects like Hallmark's widely adored original movies and the second season of Celebrations with Lacey Chabert," Chabert said. "I am also thrilled to expand my partnership with Hallmark with a new product collection available exclusively at Hallmark Gold Crown Stores. Ever since I was a little girl, I have sincerely loved the universally positive experience of shopping at a Hallmark store, so to be able to work on this collection that will allow other people and their families to create memories of their own has been such a treat and full circle for me."

The renewal of the unscripted series Celebrations with Lacey Chabert is set to premiere later this year on Hallmark+. Returning to the show for Season 2 are Lacey Chabert (Mean Girls, Haul Out the Holly) alongside her talented party planning team Lisa Friedman and Marisa Lainer. In season 2, the series will continue to spotlight deserving community members with surprise celebrations in recognition of their incredible contributions.

In Season 2, Chabert and her team will surprise eight new individuals, each chosen for their extraordinary efforts to uplift those around them. These everyday heroes will be treated to fabulous, one-of-a-kind celebrations designed to honor their impact in a deeply meaningful way. As with the first season, the series will offer viewers touching glimpses into the lives of the honorees and their communities.

Celebrations with Lacey Chabert is produced by UNConventional Entertainment, a part of Sony Pictures Television (SPT), and Lacey Chabert Productions. Executive producers of the series include UNConventional's Gena McCarthy, Sony Pictures Television's Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman, along with Jill Garelick-Aron, Hollie Lobosky, and Lacey Chabert.

My Quick Take:

I'm sooo excited about this! Lacey Chabert has a wonderful sense of style, which is evident in her HSN clothing line, so I can't wait to see what she designs with Hallmark, especially at Christmastime!

On a personal note, the Hallmark store holds such wonderful memories for me and my family, and I'm sure it does for many of you, as well. I remember we would always shop there before every birthday and pick out party plates, cups, napkins, wrapping paper, and, of course, birthday cards! And each holiday season, I couldn't wait to see all of the Christmas ornaments, wrapping paper, and fun new holiday line of products, whether it be silly dancing snowmen or Santa Claus figurines and Christmas villages! I loved it all! Shopping at our local Hallmark shop was always enjoyable. (Unfortunately, that store is gone now.) There was nothing like walking up to that Christmas window with the ornaments displayed so neatly, each one waiting to be purchased and find its way home. I still love the magic and wonder of it all, and I can't wait to see the new line (online) from Hallmark and Lacey Chabert this Christmas!

And... I'm delighted to know that Lacey has signed a multi-picture deal with Hallmark! I look forward to seeing her upcoming projects with the network. Personally, I would still love to see another All of My Heart movie and Dancing Detective mystery! I guess we will all have to stay tuned!

Blessings on your day!

STUDIO CITY, CA – November 27, 2023 – Hallmark Media is bringing its brand of feel-good programming to the unscripted genre with its new aspirational series “Celebrations with Lacey Chabert,” executive produced and hosted by perennial fan-favorite Lacey Chabert (Haul Out the Holly, Mean Girls). Chabert has become a network staple, starring in 38 Hallmark movies. This 10-episode series will debut late next year on Hallmark Media’s subscription streaming service.

What’s more, Hallmark Media plans to further expand its footprint in the unscripted programming space in the new year. Signaling the company’s commitment to creating more kinds of quality content like the movies and series that Hallmark viewers have enjoyed for nearly two decades, this project is one example of many new, original programs being developed for the company. Working in partnership with consultant and master unscripted storyteller David Stefanou, the company plans to announce more projects in 2024.

“We’re proud to announce our foray into the unscripted programming space,” said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming Hallmark Media. “The Hallmark brand lends itself to a wide array of opportunities to tell stories that bring inspiration, comfort, joy, and happiness to our viewers, so tapping into this genre allows us to evolve and expand our programming footprint in incredibly rewarding ways.”

“Celebrations with Lacey Chabert” will follow the beloved Hallmark Channel star, designer and philanthropist as she surprises deserving kids, families, and adults who are making a positive impact in their communities by throwing them the celebration of a lifetime.

“Lacey Chabert shares the same passion for celebrating everyday heroes as we do at Hallmark,” said Hamilton Daly. “Lacey’s natural warmth and genuine nature make her a perfect fit for this series that is sure to leave our Hallmark audience feeling uplifted as they experience these heartwarming stories and spectacular events. This show provides the perfect opportunity to expand our work with Lacey in meaningful and innovative new ways.”

“As a lifelong DIY enthusiast, I fell in love with party planning while coming up with creative ways to bring my daughter’s birthday parties to life,” said Chabert. “I am so excited to lend my love of crafts to create joyous moments for deserving people. This is going to be an epic party as we celebrate real-life heroes, complete with the ups and downs that only unscripted television can capture.”

This aspirational and visually appealing series combines heart, the spirit of generosity, and dazzling events as Chabert and her team plan an epic surprise party to give back to kids, families, and special adults who are making an extraordinary impact. With the help of professional party planners, loving family members, and a team of volunteers, Chabert will have just three days to plan and execute a mind-blowing, one-of-a-kind event that will create lasting memories for each worthy guest of honor and their families. While the parties will be unforgettable, the series goes beyond the surface to give back to these remarkable party recipients in a meaningful way.

Executive producers of the series include UNConventional’s Gena McCarthy, Sony Pictures Television’s Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman, along with Jill Garelick-Aron, Ashley Franklin, and Lacey Chabert.
