Some of the best holiday movies come from the small screen and are crafted by the likes of ABC and Hallmark. A good number of those movies star one of the meanest girls you could imagine. Yep, Gretchen Wieners played by the lovely Lacey Chabert has made a name for herself on TV. No she has not exploded to fame like her other three co-stars, but she has found bliss as a Hallmark sweet heart searching for love.

OK, yes Hallmark movies can be cheesy, but the holidays call for it. The typical formula of girl meets boy, who has no clue about anything, and the two end up together. Add a little Christmas plot line and you have yourself a new formula with the same principals. Oh, and don't forget some Lacey Chabert because she is essential. If you are not convinced yet here is a list of Lacy Chabert's holiday moves ranked from cheesy to cheesy and over all feel good.

1. Matchmaker Santa

Honestly my favorite out of all the Lacey Chabert holiday films. Matchmaker Santa puts Melanie a baker on a cute journey to realize the true love of her life is not her boyfriend, but her boyfriends best friend. Drama, I know. Santa of course plays a big role in trying to put these two together. With its quirkiness and charm it is hands down my top pick

2. A Royal Christmas

An average girl with a dream to continue her career, so happens to be dating a prince finds herself in a predicament when he wishes to marry her and his mother does not approve. Is she princess material? Well, duh. With touches of the classic princess genre you will think its the better sequel of the Prince and Me if the first prince and Me did not exist.

3. A Christmas Melody

Mariah Carey plays herself in this wonderful jingle of a movie. Filled with love and the sweet connection between mother and daughter. Once again, Lacey Chabert finds herself in the middle of Mariah Carey's scorn while she does all she can to make the Christmas show great without falling for her kids music teacher.

4. Family for Christmas

An aspiring news reporter ventures off to pursue her career leaving behind her boyfriend as she becomes one of the best reporters in her district. Always asking herself what if she encounters Santa who gives her the chance to see what her life would have been like if she never left her boyfriend. Very heterocentric I know. Which is why it comes in at the bottom of the list. Still enjoyable is her pursuit of both her dreams and her big love.

5. A Wish For Christmas

A new premiere on Hallmark with the lovely Lacey Chabert. As a woman struggles to find her voice she makes a wish with the help of Santa to change. Of course you can't go wrong with a little romance thrown in there as well. Airing Saturday Dec.10th yet another movie to look forward to as Lacey Chabert becomes a Hallmark trade mark.

If you dare to find a sweet moment this holiday season why not do it with the daughter of the inventor of toaster strudel.
