The 42-year-old actress previously shared the screen with the 46-year-old star in 2018's My Secret Valentine and the Hallmark Channel have announced the pair will appear together in their upcoming holiday movie She's Making a List. Hallmark broke the news with a teaser video, in which Lacey said: "It's my job to decide who's been naughty." Andrew then added: "Or nice. Like me. ... I'm basically a very tall nine year old."

She's Making a List is Lacey's 43rd Hallmark movie and she previously admitted she never expected to make so many. She told People magazine: "I never would've known when I did the first one that would turn into what it has, and I'm just so proud of it and the journey and the excitement of all that filming these movies has brought to my life. "It's just been a beautiful experience. ... Everyone knows I love Christmas and I love, love, love making these Christmas movies."

A Filmmaker's Surreal Journey Into His Own Private Winnipeg
The average television viewer has seen a lot of Winnipeg without even realizing it. The mid-sized capital of the Canadian province of Manitoba often stands in for the quaint American towns depicted in Hallmark Media's family-friendly movies. But to filmmaker Matthew Rankin, his hometown — with its unloved architecture and under-appreciated local history — deserves the opportunity to play itself, too. Rankin's latest film, Universal Language, is being released in theaters across the US this week and is Canada's international feature film submission for this year's Academy Awards. The 43-year-old director uses his Winnipeg filming locations to build a surrealist vision of the city based on a mix of his own life, family stories, and dreams he had of his late parents. The absurdist comedy, which landed on Vulture 's roundup of the best movies of 2024, follows several characters, among them a tour guide named Massoud (Pirouz Nemati) whose itineraries feature stops at a dead mall and a surface parking lot known for its historic parallel parking incident. Rankin also includes an exceptionally long moment of silence at the gravesite of Louis Riel, the Indigenous revolutionary figure who founded Manitoba. This is the Winnipeg that Hanukkah on the Rocks and Never Been Chris'd don't want you to see.
