Lacey Chabert (Young Justice, Mean Girls) and Kristoffer Polaha (Jurassic World Dominion, Ringer), who starred in Hallmark favorites A Merry Scottish Christmas and A Biltmore Christmas, respectively, have joined forces for the network’s newest holiday film set and shot on location in Iceland.
The duo wrapped production on the adventure-romance The Christmas Quest, premiering later this year as part of Hallmark’s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event. The film also marks Chabert’s 15th (!!!) Hallmark Christmas movie.
The story follows an archeologist (played by Chabert) and her ex-husband (Polaha), an expert in ancient Norse languages, who are “sent to Iceland at Christmastime to search for a legendary treasure,” per the official synopsis. “When others join in the hunt, the pair find themselves swept into a thrilling adventure as they race to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.”
Dustin Rikert (A Merry Scottish Christmas, Where Are You, Christmas?) directed a script penned by Marcy Holland (A Biltmore Christmas).
“In the spirit of the best action-adventure romances, The Christmas Quest pairs Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha on a daring quest, with a unique holiday twist,” Samantha DiPippo, Senior Vice President of Development and Programming at Hallmark Media, said in a statement. “Lacey and Kristoffer are at their charming best together and are the perfect pair to take viewers on this journey.”
The Christmas Quest hails from Synthetic Cinema International, the company behind such Hallmark films as A Merry Scottish Christmas and A Biltmore Christmas, and Iceland’s Hero Productions.
Live him, van’t tolerate her. My loss.
Love him! Very handsome. Really enjoyed the Biltmore Christmas movie last year. Really want her to do a funny movie again. She’s good in humorous movies, but we don’t get to see that side of her very often.
A new adventurous take on a Christmas film – sounds intriguing. Love Polaha and absolutely adore Lacey Chabert!
I’m looking forward to this so much!
It’ll be good to see him again, I saw him in The Shift. Will miss him on mystery 101 but Hallmark don’t screw up and give him scripts.
Love both of them, great actress and actor. Can’t wait to watch it. He was fantastic in A Biltmore Christmas.
Does Lacey have it in her contract that her Christmas movies must be set in Europe? This is the 3rd or 4th year in a row I think!
She had a Christmas movie in 2022 and its sequel 2023 set Nowhere Town, USA. She has had movies in Europe as well, but that could be just Hallmark making deals for cheap filming instead of just camping out in Canada.
Love Lacey in all of her movies.
Odd pairing in my opinion. But we will see. Do love Christmas movies though.
I love watching 👀 anything that the two of them make together!! I’m extremely glad that there making another movie together! I subscribe to the Hallmark movies Now, I actually enjoyed watching all of the different movies that Hallmark offers. Thanku for letting me enjoy all my movies. ❤️
Wait, this sounds kinda fun and different… am I actually… *excited* about one of these?
This “ice castle” theme has been done too many times, already. I do like the “mystery” format with Lacey and Kris. Should be interesting. Can’t wait for a new story!
