Is Lacey Chabert still with Hallmark? Everything to know about the channel’s latest production She’s Making a List

Lacey Chabert is gearing up to star in Hallmark's Christmas holiday film She’s Making a List alongside Andrew Walker, releasing at the end of 2025. Due to her long association with the cable network, the actress signed a deal in 2022 that gave her producing credits on some of her movies, including the upcoming film.

In 2022, she reaffirmed her commitment to the channel, following the exit of several well-known stars to the rival Great American Family network. She told CinemaBlend in December of that year that she feels a "responsibility" to entertain the channel's audience.

"It’s my responsibility to the audience who continue to tune into my movies that I give the best I have to offer. That’s always my mission. I’ll never abandon what Hallmark means for me, which is that everything is centered around the heart. I don’t think there are any plans for that to change anytime soon," explained Chabert.

As of this writing, she's still an integral part of the Hallmark Channel.
