Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown Return for 'Haul Out the Holly' Sequel
Last year, Hallmark Channel boasted 40 new original movies for their Countdown to Christmas programming event. Of those films, Haul Out the Holly, starring Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown, was one of the most popular of the new originals. It was so popular that there's a sequel coming this holiday season!
Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up, brings back Chabert and Brown in the festive comedy about an HOA that goes all out for the holidays. Stephen Tobolowsky, Melissa Peterman and Ellen Travolta also return for the new film. Seth Morris and Jennifer Aspen join the cast to add to the Christmas cheer.
“‘Haul out the Holly’ was an unqualified success and became an instant holiday classic. Viewers immediately responded to the movie’s warmth and this incredibly funny cast,” said Samantha DiPippo, Sr. Vice President, Development, Hallmark Media. “We cannot wait to take viewers back to Evergreen Lane with a sequel that is bigger, funnier and jollier than before.”
What was Haul Out the Holly about?
In this fun holiday romp, Emily (Chabert) arrives home, hoping to visit her parents, only to discover that they are leaving on a trip of their own. As she stays at their house for the holidays, their HOA is determined to get Emily to participate in the neighborhood’s many Christmas festivities.
What is Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up about?
As the holidays approach, Emily and Jared (Brown) are looking forward to celebrating the holidays together again, this time as a couple. Emily, now embracing Evergreen Lane’s uniquely festive spirit, is ready to work with Jared, Ned (Tobolowsky), Mary Louise (Travolta) and Pamela (Peterman) to make this year’s Christmas celebrations the best yet—even if being the HOA president’s girlfriend doesn’t stop those dreaded decorating citations. When a house on the block goes up for sale, it causes quite a stir with residents. When the soon-to-be neighbors turn out to be holiday royalty, it looks like this year’s competition is about to heat up. As the welcoming committee prepares for the new arrivals, only one thing is certain—this Christmas, Evergreen Lane is going to sleigh!
