Party of Five alums Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf are reuniting after 23 years in the new Hallmark Channel original movie A Merry Scottish Christmas, coming to Countdown to Christmas 2023 later this year. 

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

Chabert, a Hallmark Channel frequent flyer and the face of the network, was thrilled with the chance to work with her on-screen brother once again.  "Scott and I have talked for years about doing another project together," Chabert said in a statement. "When we first read this story about siblings at a crossroads, we both knew it was the perfect opportunity."

Chabert has starred in quite a few memorable Hallmark movies like The Sweetest Christmas, Love on Safari, Moonlight in Vermont, Christmas in Rome and The Christmas Waltz

Wolf has also enjoyed a busy career since his Party of Five days. Some of his memorable roles came from shows like Perception and The Night Shift, and most recently Nancy Drew. He also starred with Kristin Chenoweth in the Hallmark Channel movie A Christmas Love Story
