your baby girl.
What is she up to?
>> You know what's funny, I
remember the last time she was
here, she was 7 weeks old.
>> And now she's like 2.
>> We're crying and so emotional
about this new baby, and now
she's 2 and she's the sassiest
she can be.
>> Look at her!
>> Does she know about Santa
yet?
>> Oh, yes, yes.
I have been telling her and she
is -- let me tell you, she knows
about presents.
Everything is presents and
prizes.
This kid is so spoiled.
But I don't think there's a more
fun age than 2.
>> It gets better.
>> But she's so sassy.
>> What do you mean sassy?
>> Yesterday she's like momma,
go away.
Like whispering things I was
embarrassing her in front of
people.
I was like do you want mama to
leave?
Yes, go!
She's like mom, I have my thing
going on.
She's also mama's girl.
We're attached at the hips.
She's my little koala.
>> Doesn't it go quick?
When you were here laughing
about the baby days, you're in
the trenches but when you blink,
you have a little person.
>> There are some moments when
she was little and not sleeping
more than 30 minutes at a time
and breastfeeding 75 times a day
which is wonderful and a gift,
but there are moments when
you're like wow, what do they
mean this is going fast?
These days are long.
>> It's the hardest job in the
world.
>> It's the hardest, hardest
job.
Yes, being a mom has taught me
I'm so much stronger than I ever
thought.
Is a good lesson.
>> I bow down!
We have Lacey chabert here.
She stars in Hallmark's Channel
"Pride, prejudice and mistletoe"
part of hallmark's am countdown
to Christmas event.
It is Lacey's seventh hallmark
movie.
>> Cheers!
>> You're the queen of hallmark
movies.
You and Candace Cameron should
both wear crowns wherever you go
now.
>> That's a great idea.
Too bad I haven't thought of it
>> And the drinking game.
>> The rules.
>> Yes.
>> It circulated around social
media, there was a drinking
game.
You drink every time there's a
snowball fight or every time
there's a kiss gone wrong or any
time you see Candace.
[ Laughter ]
I was like this is great.
>> There's Lacey.
Seriously, all of the years you
have been on our show talking
about these, this is such a good
fit with you and hallmark.
Did you ever think up it would
end up being like this?
What a wonderful combination.
>> Yeah, it's been a really
blessed experience and I have so
much fun making these movies.
I love being part of something
that brings joy in people's
homes for a few hours.
I think I just finished my 16th
hallmark movie.
>> Wow.
>> Seventh Christmas one.
>> You just shot one in south
Africa recently.
>> I did, "Love on safari" I
shot it in South Africa.
We were in johannesburg for
three weeks.
It was a bucket list place,
such an incredible play.
Giraffes walking along.
We had ar&p5
we actually stayed on the
reserve where we were filming
it.
I would wake up and the giraffes
would be outside of my room in
the morning.
It was absolutely surreal and
crazy.
>> That is my dream, love on
safari.
Can't you fall in love with
maybe the guy showing you
around, tour guy guide?
>> How did you know that's
exactly what happened?
>> I love hallmark.
>> And when you're describing
it, you go to the movie and
you're --
>> Last time I was here a couple
of years ago, I think I promised
I was going to work on getting
you a part.
I dropped the ball.
>> What happened?
>> I failed miserably.
I'm a busy mom but I'm on the
case, both of you.
>> We're in.
We're in.
>> I'm not upset about it.
Not upset about it.
But I do want to know the "Pride
and prejudice and mistletoe"?
>> Yeah, it's a face-off with
the book.
And it's an adorable story.
I play Darcy in it.
In the beginning she's an
investment banker, she's
incredibly ambitious but she
feels like something is missing,
a little off, and needs to take
a step back.
>> She goes home.
>> Goes home for the holidays,
what better place to take a step
back, home for the holidays.
And she realizes the
relationship she's in is
probably not the right one and
she ends up planning this
beautiful charity event for the
community with her another and
does it alongside Mr. Bennett.
High school nemesis.
>> Lo and behold!
>> A different connection.
>> So big city girl goes home,
finds love with her nemesis.
Drink, drink, drink!
[ Laughter ]
>> Yes.
And he helps her rediscover her
Christmas spirit , and the thing
I love about all of these
movies, there's always the
common theme about getting back
in touch with what's the most
important?
Especially for the Christmas
movies.
The spirit and family and that's
something I think connects with
a lot of people and me too.
