Alison Sweeney expressed her excitement at the idea of reuniting with the trio for a holiday Hallmark feature. When asked about it, she exclaimed, "Oh, my gosh, how fun would that be? I would love that."

Sweeney also mentioned to Us that she is currently in the early stages of planning her next Christmas movie with the network. She shared, “The last few I worked on had a more magical Christmas feel. For my upcoming project, I am leaning towards a more comedic approach to the holiday season.”

Sweeney mentioned that Chabert's 2022 hit "Haul Out the Holly" and its 2023 sequel "Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up" served as her inspiration.

She described Chabert's projects as "hilarious and so much fun," admitting that she felt a bit jealous. She expressed her desire to make something similar happen for herself.

Sweeney is exploring the concept of a "realistic family Christmas movie." She expressed her desire for a film that reflects the challenges families actually face, aiming for a sincere and slightly humorous Christmas experience.

She hinted at having some ideas and pitches for Hallmark to create this type of movie. The plans are currently being discussed, and it remains to be seen if they will come to fruition.
