Lacey Chabert’s Daughter Catches Her Decorating Early for Christmas

Lacey Chabert, affectionately dubbed Hallmark’s *Queen of Christmas*, just got hilariously called out by her own daughter for breaking her holiday decorating rules. The *Mean Girls* alum and Hallmark favorite has starred in more than 40 Hallmark movies—including at least 15 holiday-themed ones—and always brings unmatched Christmas spirit.

This year, her nine-year-old daughter Julia caught her red-handed, decking the halls before Halloween even had a chance. The adorable video, which went viral across social media, shows Julia stealthily filming her mom as she hangs giant ornaments in their yard.

Turns out, even the Queen of Christmas can’t resist an early start to the season. Fans, friends, and Hallmark co-stars flooded the comments with laughter and love, turning this mother-daughter moment into one of the most charming viral stories of the year.

The Queen of Christmas Gets Busted

For years, Lacey Chabert has had one rule when it comes to decorating for Christmas: *no decorations until after Halloween.* This year, that rule didn’t last.

On October 29, Julia, her quick-witted nine-year-old, decided to play paparazzi and film her mom in action. Dressed in comfy sweats, sunglasses, and slippers, Chabert was caught hanging oversized ornaments on the family’s front yard tree.

Julia’s playful narration gave fans a peek at what life is really like in the Chabert household during the holidays. Honestly, it’s every bit as festive and funny as one of her Hallmark movies.

Julia’s commentary was pure gold. She started with a mock news report, announcing her mom’s early decorating spree, and teased her for being unable to wait for November.

The best part? Julia pointed out that her mom had *even put up a Christmas tree inside already*—then watched in disbelief as her mom tossed a Halloween spider decoration into the grass.

That tiny act of festive rebellion sealed it: Lacey Chabert officially started Christmas early this year.

Julia’s Viral Narration Steals the Show

While Lacey was the star of the video, Julia’s narration completely stole the spotlight. Her innocent, hilarious observations had fans in stitches.

She sighed dramatically, saying her mom has loved decorating for Christmas *ever since she was born*, and even whispered a cheeky *Yo Lacey* as she zoomed in on her mom mid-decoration.

The moment Julia discovered her poor spider missing an eye after its unceremonious toss into the grass? Comedy gold. Fans and friends couldn’t get enough of her commentary.

Hallmark Stars and Fans React

Once Lacey shared Julia’s video online, the comments section lit up like a Christmas tree. Fellow Hallmark stars couldn’t resist joining in.

Andrew Walker, who co-stars with Chabert in the upcoming movie *She’s Making a List*, joked that he needed *more Julia narration in his life.* Kimberly Brown, Lacey’s friend and *Haul Out the Halloween* co-star, declared that Julia was *funnier than we will ever be,* to which Chabert playfully responded with her signature humor.

Even the official Hallmark Channel account got in on the fun, commenting that *one day she will understand.* Melissa Peterman, another co-star from the *Haul Out the Holly* franchise, called the video her *favorite thing ever.*

Fans echoed the sentiment, flooding the post with laughing emojis and affectionate comments about how relatable the moment was. One fan summed it up: it’s *hilarious that the reigning Queen of Hallmark Christmas is getting roasted by her kid for starting too early.*

When Hallmark Meets Real Life

There’s something especially endearing about seeing one of Hallmark’s most beloved stars living out her own holiday movie scenario. Lacey Chabert’s career has been built on spreading Christmas cheer, and this real-life moment proved her festive passion is no act.

This isn’t Julia’s first time catching her mom in the act, either. Earlier in October, she filmed another video of Chabert carrying armloads of decorations into their driveway.

The text overlay jokingly read *POV: when your mom realizes there are only 10 Fridays until Christmas.* Julia has a knack for comedic timing—and her mom’s holiday enthusiasm knows no bounds.

Lacey’s Love for Christmas Runs Deep

During a recent appearance on *The Viall Files* podcast, Chabert admitted that her Christmas obsession sometimes leads to sneaky behavior. She laughed as she confessed to hiding new decorations from her husband, David Nehdar, whom she’s been married to for nearly 12 years.

When asked whether she has multiple decorated trees, Chabert cheerfully admitted that she does—and that she may have *ordered another one last week.* Her playful plan? To intercept the box before her husband notices.

It’s a classic Hallmark-style mix of humor and heart, which just fits her. Honestly, who could blame her?

Balancing Boundaries and Holiday Bliss

Despite her best efforts to maintain *decorating boundaries*, Chabert’s enthusiasm always seems to win out. She’s said she tries to wait until after Halloween to start transforming her home into a winter wonderland, but her daughter’s videos tell a different story this year.

For someone who’s spent over a decade making holiday movies, Christmas isn’t just a season—it’s a lifestyle. Chabert’s fans love her for exactly that reason.

She embodies the spirit of the season both on and off camera. Her laughter, her family’s playful teasing, and her unapologetic love for all things festive remind fans why she continues to reign supreme as Hallmark’s holiday icon.

The Heart of the Story: Family, Fun, and Festivity

What makes this story truly special isn’t just the humor—it’s the heart behind it. Watching Julia lovingly roast her mom shows the genuine bond between them.

It’s the kind of wholesome, funny, and heartwarming moment that feels straight out of a Hallmark movie script. The best parts of the holiday season aren’t the perfectly decorated trees or the twinkling lights—it’s the laughter and memories shared with loved ones.

For Chabert, Christmas is more than a professional theme—it’s a family tradition that keeps evolving. With Julia’s budding creativity and quick wit, it wouldn’t be surprising if she someday joins her mom in front of or behind the camera.

For now, though, she’s content to keep her mom *humble* with her hilarious holiday commentary.

What’s Next for the Queen of Christmas?

As the holidays creep closer, fans can expect to see Lacey Chabert back on Hallmark screens in She’s Making a List with Andrew Walker. With her real-life decorating escapades, you have to wonder how much of her own festive flair will sneak into the movie.

Whether she’s acting, decking the halls, or just getting gently teased by her daughter, Chabert keeps finding ways to spread cheer. She’s got a knack for making the season feel a little brighter, doesn’t she?
