The Queen of Hallmark Channel Lacey Chabert may soon add another jewel to her crown after being announced as the host for Celebrations with Lacey Chabert.
“I’m so excited to expand my relationship with @hallmarkchannel and bring their first unscripted show to life!” Chabert, 41, revealed via Instagram on Monday, November 27, after news of the series broke. “It was so fun to celebrate people who are heroes in their communities, along with our extraordinary event planners @lapartystylists. I can’t wait to share this show with you next year on @hallmarkmoviesnow 🎉.”
Chabert works with party planners, family members and volunteers in each episode Celebrations with Lacey Chabert to surprise a special recipient with a delicious party put together in just three days, according to Deadline, who first reported the news. Recipients are chosen because they have a positive impact on their communities.
“We are proud to announce our venture into the unscripted programming space,” executive vice president of programming at Hallmark Media, Lisa Hamilton Daly, said a statement. “The Hallmark brand lends itself to a wide range of storytelling opportunities that bring inspiration, comfort, joy and happiness to our viewers. Tapping into this genre will allow us to evolve and expand our programming footprint in incredibly rewarding ways.”
Chabert will also serve as an executive producer on the project, which will air ten episodes on Hallmark’s streaming service, Hallmark Movies Now, in late 2024.
“Lacey Chabert shares the same passion for celebrating everyday heroes as we do at Hallmark,” continued Hamilton Daly. “Lacey’s natural warmth and genuine nature make her a perfect fit for this series, which is sure to leave our Hallmark audiences feeling uplifted as they experience these heartwarming stories and spectacular events.”
The A very Scottish Christmas star described herself as a “lifelong do-it-yourselfer” and shared in her own statement, “I fell in love with party planning while thinking of creative ways to bring my daughter’s birthday parties to life.”
Chabert continued, “I am so excited to use my love of crafts to create moments of joy for people who deserve it. This will be an epic celebration of real-life heroes, complete with the ups and downs that only unscripted television can capture.”
Celebrations with Lacey Chabert will be the actress’s latest venture with Hallmark Media following her network debut in 2010. Over the past two decades, Chabert has appeared in more than 25 films for Hallmark, including the Wedding veil franchise and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries franchise, The Crossword Puzzle Mysteries.
This year alone, Chabert appeared in three Wedding veil functions. She played along too The dancing detective: a deadly tango and two holiday films A Merry Scottish Christmas And Take out the holly: illuminated.
