A Merry Scottish Christmas

Almost three decades have passed since Party of Five debuted on Fox. The family drama ran for six seasons and followed five siblings after their parents died in a car accident. The show launched the careers of its ensemble cast members—Matthew Fox, Neve Campbell, Scott Wolf and Lacey Chabert. All went on to star in popular movies and TV series like Scream, Mean Girls, Nancy Drew and Lost. Two of the show's cast, Wolf and Chabert, will reunite for the first time in A Merry Scottish Christmas, an upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie that will debut during the network's Countdown to Christmas lineup.

Here's everything we know about A Merry Scottish Christmas.

What is A Merry Scottish Christmas about?

The movie, written by NBC Correspondent Andrea Canning and American author Audrey Schulman, follows estranged siblings Lindsay (Chabert) and Brad (Wolf) who travel to Scotland at Christmas to reunite with their mother Jo (Fiona Bell). While there, a big family secret is revealed.

“We are so excited to reunite Lacey and Scott and know our viewers will fall in love with this movie,” said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media. “The nostalgia of seeing Lacey and Scott together again on screen is going to be a special holiday treat for our viewers.”

Lacey Chabert starred as Claudia Salinger on Party of Five, a violin virtuoso who struggled with her parents' death. Chabert has starred in over two dozen films for Hallmark Media including the popular Wedding Veil trilogy of movies.

“Scott and I have talked for years about doing another project together. When we first read this story about these siblings at a crossroads, we both knew it was the perfect opportunity,” said Chabert.

Scott Wolf (Brad)

Scott Wolf starred as Bailey Salinger, the second oldest Salinger child who had to grow up fast after the death of his parents. Wolf has previously starred opposite Kristin Chenoweth in the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, A Christmas Love Story on Hallmark Channel.

“Working with Lacey on Party of Five was one of my favorite experiences ever,” said Wolf. “Reuniting after all of these years to tell such a beautiful story together is a dream that I’m so glad is coming true.”

Robinson has been acting since he was a child with his first on-screen role being that of a young William Wallace in Braveheart. He has since appeared in episodes of Angel, The Borgias, and Outlander.

Are there any Easter Eggs in A Merry Scottish Christmas?

There are! Look for a nod to the Party of Five clan, the Salingers, in A Merry Scottish Christmas. Also keep an eye out for a familiar face who you or may not see waltz or tango, but you will see him do the "highland fling".

Did you know? There's a difference between "whiskey" and "whisky". Whisky (no e) refers to Scottish, Japanese, or Canadian distilled grain spirits. Whiskey (with an e) refers to grain spirits distilled in Ireland and the U.S.

When does A Merry Scottish Christmas premiere?

An exact date has not been released, but A Merry Scottish Christmas will premiere during Hallmark Channel's annual Countdown to Christmas event which typically begins at the end of October.
