Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker are set to star together in a new Hallmark Channel movie titled She’s Making a List. This marks a highly anticipated reunion for the two popular actors, who previously collaborated on the 2018 film My Secret Valentine. The announcement was made by the Hallmark Channel on July 19, 2025, generating excitement among fans of the network’s festive programming.
In this upcoming holiday film, Chabert plays the role of Isabel Haynes, a “naughty or nice” list auditor. The story takes an unexpected turn when Isabel is assigned to evaluate 11-year-old Charlie Duncan, portrayed by a yet-to-be-disclosed actor. As Isabel navigates her professional duties, she finds herself drawn to Charlie’s widowed father, Jason Duncan, played by Walker. The film poses the question: will Isabel adhere to the strict guidelines of her job or follow her heart as Christmas approaches?
Hallmark’s promotional materials hint at a blend of humor and romance. A video teaser shared on Twitter/X showcases the chemistry between Chabert and Walker, setting the stage for a heartwarming holiday story. The film is part of Hallmark Channel’s popular Countdown to Christmas event, which features a lineup of festive films leading up to the holiday season.
Chabert expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Reuniting with Andrew after all these years to do our first Christmas movie together is such a joy. Andrew brings so much heart, humor, and warmth to every role, and working with him again felt like coming home.” She emphasized her excitement about collaborating on this special project.
Walker reciprocated her sentiments, saying, “What a gift it is to reunite with Lacey seven years after our Valentine’s movie. 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.” His comments reflect the mutual respect and admiration the two actors have for each other.
As Hallmark continues to expand its holiday programming, She’s Making a List is anticipated to be a highlight of this season’s offerings. With its blend of romance, family dynamics, and festive spirit, the film is likely to resonate with audiences looking for heartwarming entertainment during the holiday season.
The premiere date for She’s Making a List has not yet been disclosed, but it is expected to air later this year as part of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas lineup. As fans eagerly await the film’s release, the reunion of Chabert and Walker adds an extra layer of excitement to the holiday movie roster.
