Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas schedule is in full swing, with new sprinklings of holiday spirit premiering weekly through the end of the 2025 TV schedule. Lacey Chabert will, of course, be making a showing, starring in She’s Making a List in December. This year, however, she started a little early with another offering, Haul Out the Halloween. I watched the third installment of Chabert’s holiday series, and I was delighted to catch a Mean Girls reference.
Lacey Chabert may be Hallmark’s Christmas queen, but she’ll likely never shake the role of Gretchen Wieners — her iconic character from 2004’s Mean Girls. The teen comedy is considered one of the best movies of the 2000s, and even two decades later, we’re still quoting Mean Girls every chance we get. I even caught what I'm convinced is a reference in Haul Out the Halloween, which premiered last month on the 2025 Christmas movie schedule.
