Lacey Chabert shares how Russell Stover Chocolates flavor her holiday memories, interview

She probably had never heard of Russell Stover Chocolates...but it's a gig.

Cheap cholates from drug stores.

Hallmark and Russell Stover are headquartered a short distance from each other in Kansas City, Missouri, and the former sells the latter's chocolates. Alas, that scenic location wasn't the setting for Chabert's chocolate-themed Hallmark romance from a few years ago.

WHO??

I think this is a Southern thing. Southerners love old school brands. But these chocolates are not very good anymore, waxy and tasteless, I wouldn't gift these.

“ Hallmark and Russell Stover are headquartered a short distance from each other in Kansas City, Missouri, and the former sells the latter's chocolates.”

R4 - interesting.

She's so real!

My deadbeat sister gifted me a box of Russell Stover last year. They were just terrible. The raspberry filled cremes were particularly diabolical - like eating a candle someone tried to flavor with cough syrup. When did RS become inedible?

They have been bad for at least 10 years.

FTFY

Hallmark and Russell Stover's PR Agency thanks you for providing a valuable SEO backlink for the story they've placed on their client's behalf.

R16 - lighten up Francis.

Russell Stover was the candy you’d buy in small-town drug stores. I loved it as a kid. Tastebuds change and they’re awful now.

Russell Stover also owns Whitman's, purveyors of the once ubiquitous yellow-boxed "Sampler." The chocolates are just as bad as their parent company's.

Stick to See's.

In Missouri, Hallmark has a department store in Kansas City and several Russell Stover standalone stores that look like ice cream parlors.

Does she get free gift assortments as part of her job!?

R21 Probably.

That’s the only gig she could get? In our area those are Walgreens chocolates-Budget Chocolates.

She is getting lots of gigs. She is in several movies every year, has her own hallmark show, is often on HSN/ QVC hawking her clothes, etc.

Lacey is busy.

Cheap ass chocolate that is always fully bloomed when you open them up. Yuck.

Lacey hawking the chocolates.

Stop trying to make cheap chocolate happen, Gretchen. No one likes Russell Stover. The only thing it pairs well with is regret, and gas station roses.

Nobody’s making “holiday memories” with a waxy caramel cluster, sweetie. Do better.

Stop trying to make this religious right supporting nut happen.

She's just as bad as Candice C. Bure.

Maybe now she's worse as she's a sneakier devil than CCB.

Tragic.

R29 Where’s your proof? Lacey loves her gays.

R29 She’s not like Candance.

She should play Lauren Boebert in what would be the trashiest biopic.

You know what’s really admirable about her? After Party of Five she couldn’t get work. She transitioned to Hallmark movies and then, created a production company that produces these shows. She’s sold every project and also makes a producers fee on every movie. She’s rich. She’s powerful. She knows her target audience.

R34 - Party of Five ended in 2000. Between then and her first Hallmark in 2010, Lacey was in a lot of projects including the iconic Mean Girls.

Lacey Chabert peaked with Mean Girls while her costars moved on to big budget films and critically acclaimed roles. She, on the other hand, floundered. She finally found her lane on Hallmark, which might not be glamorous, but at least she’s become the queen of cozy holiday TV. Hallmark was the best thing to ever happen to her and she has been smart capitalizing on it as a producer as well as a star.

For some reason I thought she was Jewish

R37 It’s because Gretchen Wieners was Jewish. “And then my parents got me a pair of really expensive white gold hoops for Hanukkah, and I had to act like I didn’t like them. It was so sad.”

If someone gave me Russell Stover for Christmas, I would know they truly hated me. It’s an act of violence.

[quote]She’s rich.

Apparently not rich enough so that she can afford to turn down an offer to shill for crappy candy.

It’s more money for little effort.

R31 She's done the 700 Club & TBN stuff over the years.

Every celeb who has done those has been outed as saying or doing something anti-gay.

Victoria Jackson, Dr. Laura, Rob Schneider, Fantasia, Chuck Woolery, John Schneider, Gloria Gaynor, Jerkules, etc. etc.

I would rather be tortured to death than utter one word for a 'sponsor'

R42 There is not evidence that Lacey is anti gay.

So many people ask me, 'Don't you get sick of this time of year after making so many Christmas movies?' I'm like, 'never.' I want to extend each year, which is why I'm decorating very early," Chabert told The Blast exclusively. "I just love all of it. I love the Christmas decorations. I love the feeling in the air. There's a feeling of together, making family recipes that we grew up cooking, and now I do them with my daughter. I love looking at the Christmas lights everywhere."

Another holiday tradition Chabert enjoys - Elf on the Shelf. She said her daughter, Julia, "absolutely loves" it.

"We have some wild and crazy elves who do really fun things," Chabert revealed. "I get so excited about this time of year." She explained that she's just like so many other parents who set the bar high with the elves but then by day six or seven, get tired and the elves "forget to wake up." (She's one of us!)
