The Netflix film schedule featured fairly a deal with for Imply Ladies followers this vacation season. Not solely did Lacey Chabert make a uncommon detour away from her Hallmark film choices, however we additionally noticed Cady Heron herself, Lindsay Lohan, return to the streamer with what some are calling Netflix’s finest 2024 Christmas film, Our Little Secret. This yr was already giving Plastics vibes, however after listening to what their former co-star Jonathan Bennett needed to say, I’m satisfied that somebody wants to begin engaged on a Imply Ladies vacation film reunion.
Jonathan Bennett, one of many stars of Hallmark+’s new The Groomsmen trilogy, wherein he helps to break down LGBTQ+ stereotypes by means of his character Danny, has turn into a fixture on the family-friendly community’s TV rom-coms, together with the queen of Christmas herself, Lacey Chabert. Lindsay Lohan, in the meantime, has been having her Lohanaissance over on Netflix. Bennett instructed Individuals he doesn’t suppose it’s a coincidence that there’s a lot overlap between Imply Ladies followers and those that will likely be looking for out the vacation flicks on the 2025 film schedule. He mentioned:
I feel what’s so particular concerning the similarities between Imply Ladies and Christmas motion pictures is that they each have a by means of line — and that by means of line is that each one these motion pictures make folks comfortable. There’s an enormous connection between the fan base of Imply Ladies and the fan base of Christmas motion pictures. These are those that wish to activate a film and really feel happier and stroll away feeling higher. I feel that is what these motion pictures do.
Jonathan Bennett might not enhance his home for Christmas on account of spending massive components of the yr “lined in tinsel,” however his coronary heart is certainly in the fitting place in the case of eager to convey pleasure to his followers. The one factor left to do is reunite him on display screen with Lacey Chabert, who he’s crossed paths as Hallmark friends, and Lindsay Lohan. Bennett continued:
So to have Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert and I all starring in numerous Christmas motion pictures, I feel is completely on model and on the right track for what we love to do as actors and storytellers, which is convey pleasure to folks, interval. Now the query is, when can we get to mix it and do a film for Christmas with Lacey Chabert, me and Lindsay Lohan? That is what I am in search of, as a result of I feel that may make so many individuals comfortable. Let’s do it.
You heard the person, let’s freaking go! The actor who performed Cady’s crush Aaron Samuels within the 2004 teen basic has talked a number of occasions about this taking place, naming Lacey Chabert because the Hallmark actor he’d like to staff up with and saying he would like to have a Hallmark Imply Ladies reunion.
I can’t think about that Lindsay Lohan and Gretchen Wieners, I imply Lacey Chabert, wouldn’t be on board. The actresses reunited for a photograph op that was “so fetch” at one in every of Netflix’s media days this yr, and each of their motion pictures — Lohan’s Our Little Secret and Chabert’s Sizzling Frosty — comprise refined Imply Ladies references.
This trio of actors, in reality, has been dropping easter eggs into their motion pictures for years. In 2022, Jonathan Bennett included a Imply Ladies quote in The Vacation Sitter on Hallmark simply weeks after Lindsay Lohan made a superb reference in Netflix’s Falling for Christmas.
So this venture has to occur. At this level, my solely query concerning a Imply Ladies vacation film is will it’s on Hallmark, or will we’d like a Netflix subscription?
