Lacey Chabert, well-known for her role in the iconic 2004 film, has recently joined the ranks of actors starring in Netflix's Christmas films. Despite it being 20 years later, the actress who captured hearts with her performance in the hit movie has barely aged at all.
While this 2004 blockbuster was not her first venture into popular onscreen projects, it was the one that solidified her success. And now, Chabert is making a grand comeback with her lead role in what appears to be Netflix's cheesiest festive film for 2024.
At 42 years old, Chabert is most famously recognized for her portrayal of Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls, alongside Lindsay Lohan as new girl Cady. She was part of "The Plastics", the elite group of high school students led by the meanest of mean girls, Regina George played by Rachel McAdams. Her co-stars also included Amanda Seyfried as Karen Smith. Fans will never forget Gretchen, whose father invented the toaster strudel and tried tirelessly to make "fetch" a popular phrase.
Aside from Mean Girls, Chabert has an impressive list of acting credits to her name, such as her role in 1998's Lost in Space with Matt LeBlanc and Gary Oldman. She has also starred in horror remake Black X-mas with Oliver Hudson and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, as well as the US family sitcom Baby Daddy from 2013 to 2014. In addition to her onscreen roles, Chabert has lent her voice to various projects including Young Justice, Robot Chicken, and Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny. She also starred in the 2009 movie Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner.
However, Chabert is most well-known for her extensive work with the Hallmark channel, having starred in over 30 of their beloved rom-coms. Some of her notable Hallmark movies include Matchmaker Santa, The Sweetest Christmas, and Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe. In 2015, she even had the honor of working with Mariah Carey in A Christmas Melody and later co-starred with her again in the 2017 animated film All I Want For Christmas is You.
But now, fans are eagerly awaiting Chabert's next project, Hot Frosty, set to premiere on Netflix in November. In this reimagining of Frosty the Snowman, Chabert plays the role of widow Kathy, who encounters a magical snowman named Jack (played by Dustin Milligan). The film also features a star-studded cast including Craig Robinson, Joe Lo Truglio, Katy Mixon, and Lauren Holly. The recently released trailer has already received rave reviews, with fans declaring it the "exact movie they want" and the "movie of the year".
Before her breakout role in Mean Girls, Chabert had already made a name for herself as Bianca on the TV drama Party of Five for six seasons. She also appeared in the 1998 film Lost in Space with Matt LeBlanc and Gary Oldman, and provided the singing voice for young Anastasia in the 1997 animation.
Mark your calendars for November 13th, when Hot Frosty will exclusively stream on Netflix. Have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share? Contact the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing us, calling 020 3615 2145, or visiting our Submit Stuff page - we'd love to hear from you!
