ENDURING LEGACY Looking back at her career, it is noted that few Hallmark stars possess the enduring appeal of actress Lacey Chabert, whose first collaboration with the network was the 2010 film Elevator Girl. As other familiar faces have come and gone from the channel, Chabert continues to appear in and elevate its programming.

In an era when many familiar faces have faded from the network’s lineup, Lacey Chabert stands alone as Hallmark’s most enduring and beloved star.

Since her first collaboration with the channel in the 2010 romantic drama “Elevator Girl” in 2010, Chabert has delivered consistent magic, elevating every project she touches.

While other talents come and go, she remains the heart and soul of Hallmark, proving time and again why she is irreplaceable.

The year 2025 was nothing short of extraordinary for the actress.

She starred in two of the network’s five biggest hits, launched her own branded line of home goods, and returned as host and executive producer for the second season of her popular reality series “Celebrations with Lacey Chabert.”

Yet those achievements pale in comparison to what lies ahead.

As 2026 unfolds, Chabert is not merely busy, she is dominating the network like never before, delivering a slate of projects that blend romance, adventure, and pure emotional escapism.

The year opened with high stakes and high heat in “Lost in Paradise,” a gripping survival romance set against a lush tropical backdrop.

Chabert stars alongside Ian Harding as a driven fashion executive and a resourceful chef who find themselves stranded on a remote island.

What begins as a fight for survival quickly ignites into undeniable passion, forcing both characters to confront their deepest vulnerabilities amid breathtaking scenery and life-or-death tension.

The film has already sparked intense fan debates about whether it represents Chabert’s boldest, most emotionally raw performance yet.

But the surprises do not end there.

On March 3, Hallmark revealed that Chabert was filming in Paris for an exciting new six-episode limited series on Hallmark+, based on Jenn McKinlay’s bestselling novel “Paris Is Always a Good Idea.”

The production, which also shoots in Spain, features a stellar cast including Scott Michael Foster, Barbara Niven, Rebecca Hanssen, and Henry Czerny.

Chabert plays a career-focused woman whose journey to secure a major donation in the City of Light turns into a heartfelt quest to reconnect with past loves and rediscover herself.

Fans have been captivated by behind-the-scenes videos of Chabert exploring European streets during breaks, fueling speculation that this series could redefine romantic storytelling on the platform.

The emotional peak arrives later this year with “Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True,” a landmark project filmed on location at Walt Disney World Resort.
