‘Queen of Christmas’ Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker to Team Up for a New Hallmark Holiday Movie: ‘What a Gift’

NEED TO KNOW
- Lacey Chabet and Andrew Walker are set to costar in ‘She’s Making a List,’ a new Christmas movie coming to Hallmark Channel
- They previously costarred in 2018’s ‘My Secret Valentine’
- The movie will premiere during Countdown to Christmas later this year
Hallmark Channel appears to be very busy these days making a list — of 2025 Christmas movies, that is! And their latest announcement sees two favorites teaming up for the first time in seven years.
Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker will be starring in She’s Making a List, coming to the network this holiday season. Chabert, 42, and Walker, 46, previously costarred in 2018’s My Secret Valentine.
Hallmark broke the news on-air with the teaser video seen above, which highlights the actors’ adorable banter and sweet chemistry. “It’s my job to decide who’s been naughty,” Chabert says, as Walker finishes the sentence: “Or nice. Like me. … I’m basically a very tall nine-year-old.”
According to the official synopsis, the movie follows Isabel Haynes, a Naughty or Nice inspector. When she “is assigned to evaluate mischievous 11-year-old Charlie Duncan, she expects a routine case. But things get complicated when Isabel unexpectedly falls for Charlie’s widowed father, Jason Duncan (Walker), and begins to question the rigid rules of her job. As Christmas approaches, Isabel must choose between following the holiday algorithm or following her heart.”
“Reuniting with Andrew after all these years to do our first Christmas movie together is such a joy,” Chabert said in a statement. “Andrew brings so much heart, humor, and warmth to every role, and working with him again felt like coming home. I am thrilled to do this one together… finally.”
The excitement is mutual.
“What a gift it is to reunite with Lacey seven years after our Valentine’s movie,” Walker said in a statement. “She truly is the Queen of Christmas, not just for the heart she brings to every role, but for her incredible talent. She brings warmth, heart, and comedy with such ease, and she adapts to every role with a grace and talent that makes everyone around her better.”

“Bringing Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker together for their first-ever Hallmark Christmas movie is a dream come true for our fans,” Jennifer Kramer, vice president of programming at Hallmark Media, said in a statement. “She’s Making a List captures the heart, humor, and holiday magic our viewers love, and we can’t wait to share this unforgettable story with them this season.”
Walker will also star alongside Tyler Hynes and Paul Campbell in a third Three Wise Men movie on Hallmark Channel later this year.
The movie marks Chabert’s 16th Christmas movie to debut during the network’s Countdown to Christmas — which is also celebrating its 16th year — and her 43rd Hallmark movie overall (after the debut of No. 42, Haul Out the Halloween, this fall).
“I never would’ve known when I did the first one that would turn into what it has, and I’m just so proud of it and the journey and the excitement of all that filming these movies has brought to my life,” she told PEOPLE last year. “It’s just been a beautiful experience. … Everyone knows I love Christmas and I love, love, love making these Christmas movies.”
