Haul Out The Holly was one of our favorite Countdown to Christmas movies of 2022. It’s also one of our favorite Lacey Chabert movies that she’s made. Win, win!
So when Hallmark hinted that they were making a sequel, we got excited. Now that it has been confirmed, have to admit, we screamed with excitement. After all, when greatness is at your doorstep, you don’t question. You get excited!
“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,” Samantha DiPippo, Sr. Vice President, Development, Hallmark Media said in a statement. “We cannot wait to take viewers back to Evergreen Lane with a sequel that is bigger, funnier and jollier than before.”
Say what? Bigger? Funnier? Sign us up for all the jolly. The first movie touched our hearts, made us laugh, and filled us with so much Christmas joy.
Speaking of the second movie will be about, “As the holidays approach, Emily and Jared 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, Mary Louise and Pamela 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!”
Are you excited for a sequel? We are! Can’t wait!
Have they announced whether or not Kristoffer Polaha and Eric Mabius will be part of the sequel?
