If you've been keeping up to date with the 2024 Netflix schedule, you might have noticed a few new Christmas films that have appeared under the tree for this time of year. One of those is "Hot Frosty," starring Lacey Chabert, who has had her fair share of Christmas films over on the Hallmark Channel. But when it comes to the difference between Netflix and Hallmark, Chabert had an answer for me that makes me want to watch a lot more Hallmark Christmas films.
For those who don't know, "Hot Frosty" is a new rom-com about a snowman who comes to life and warms the heart of a widow during Christmas time. Chabert plays Kathy, the female lead, and the movie gives us all the cute Christmas feels that we're expecting.

00:00What would you say is the biggest difference between doing a Hallmark Christmas movie and
00:04moving over to like a big streamer like Netflix to do a movie here?
00:07Um, you know what? It's a lot of it is the same heart that I love to be able to hopefully put
00:13into all of the holiday movies because the thing that I personally love about watching
00:17these movies is it reminds me of cherished traditions and memories, you know, as you're
00:22creating new ones, hopefully with your friends and family. And there's a certain nostalgia that
00:26comes with watching a Christmas movie. And, you know, in this one in particular, we were really
00:30able to lean into the comedy, which is something I love and have gotten to do in the past. And
00:35so I just appreciated all of the opportunity. And the thing I enjoyed most was working with
00:41this incredible cast. I mean, Craig and Joe and Lauren and Katie and just everyone,
00:46like we had such a good time. And Dustin, I admired his performance so much and his
00:51bravery and how free he was in creating this character who's just learning to be human.
00:55There was so much that I would go to set and learn every day. And it's really fun for me,
01:01um, having been in this business almost my whole life, like to go to work and
01:06be inspired and to learn something new every day. I cherish that.
