It’s a Party of Five reunion. Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf, who played siblings on the Fox family drama, will share the screen again in a 2023 Hallmark Channel Christmas movie. It’s the first time the pair have worked together since Party of Five ended its run in 2000. 

Lacey Chabert teases reunion with her ‘Party of Five’ co-star 

Chabert and Wolf will star in A Merry Scottish Christmas. It will air later this year as part of Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” celebration. 

In an Instagram post, Chabert said the chance to work with Wolf again was “a dream come true!”

“I’m so thrilled to be reuniting with one of my dearest friends [Scott Wolf] for a very special [Hallmark Channel] #CountdownToChristmas movie!” she wrote. “We are having so much fun filming #AMerryScottishChristmas and can’t wait to share it with you this holiday season!”

In a follow-up comment, Chabert clarified that she and Wolf would be playing siblings in the film. That should ease fears of fans who might have been weirded out by the idea of the actors who portrayed Bailey and Claudia Salinger playing love interests. 

Wolf said he’s excited to team up with Chabert again more than 20 years after the end of Party of Five. 

“Working with Lacey on Party of Five was one of my favorite experiences ever,” he said in a statement. “Reuniting after all of these years to tell such a beautiful story together is a dream that I’m so glad is coming true.”
