“All My Children” alum Lacey Chabert (Bianca Montgomery, 1992 to 1993) will once again take part in the Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas event by starring in the new holiday movie “A Wish for Christmas.” As released and detailed by the network, the movie follows… “Sara Shaw (Chabert) is the type of woman who prefers to sit on the sidelines at work, but when her big idea for a Christmas initiative is stolen, she makes a wish to Santa that she’ll finally have the courage to stand up for herself. When Santa grants her wish, she gets a chance to prove herself to her boss (Paul Greene, “A Christmas Detour”) but Santa’s wish only gives her 48 hours. As the clock ticks down, Sara will discover how to channel the Christmas magic and speak her mind all on her own.” Tune in for the premiere on Saturday November 5 at 9:00 PM.
