Hey, Lacey Chabert, now that you have had another successful Christmas season of holiday movies on the Hallmark Channel, what are you going to do? She is going to Disney World!
The actress announced that next Christmas season, she will star in Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, which will be filmed at Disney World. That is the first time the two have collaborated on a movie.
“The history between Hallmark and Disney dates back decades, when a shared Kansas City connection and friendship between Hallmark’s founder, J.C. Hall, and Walt Disney himself led to our first-ever licensed products, including the very first greeting card featuring Mickey Mouse,” said Darren Abbott, Chief Brand Officer, Hallmark. “We’re thrilled to expand our partnership beyond the products we create together and onto the screen with this heartwarming and joyful Christmas movie that embodies the very best of both brands.”
The telemovie follows Lindsey (Chabert) and her extended family head to Walt Disney World to spend a magical Christmas together. But the dream of a jolly holiday gets quickly dashed when Lindsey discovers her room is next door to Philip (Travis Van Winkle), a disastrous first date she recently had, who’s also there on a family trip. As Lindsey and Philip’s paths cross throughout their stay, the frost starts to thaw as they learn they’re not so different from each other after all. Thanks to some Walt Disney World magic, the holiday wish Lindsey made in Cinderella Fountain just might turn their rivalry into romance.
Chabert and Van Winkle will be joined at the Happiest Place on Earth by Richard Kind, Christy Carlson Romano, Bryce Durfee, Taegen Burns, Asher Alexander, and Patrick Renna.
This will be just one of the many films that will be part of Countdown to Christmas. But I have a feeling it will also be the most memorable one in 2026.
