During the holidays, Chabert and her family enjoy watching classic films like Home Alone and Christmas with the Kranks, along with her own Hallmark movies. “We’re watching almost all of them this year, and it’s fun to support my friends,” she said.
Chabert shared a touching memory of her daughter believing her movies were made just for her. “It was sweet when she was 4, but now she understands the process and enjoys it,” she explained.
The actress partnered with Raising Cane’s for holiday charity.
Chabert participated in a holiday event on December 15 in Hollywood, alongside Graves, donating bikes to the Boys & Girls Club. Together, they provided 500 bikes this year as part of a nationwide initiative donating 4,500 bikes across 30 cities.
“Partnering with Raising Cane’s is amazing because of their impactful work,” Chabert said. “The holidays are about being together and spreading joy, and today we did just that with these kids.”

Special guests, including Khadijah and Malika Haqq, Sarah Jane Nader, and others, joined the event, sharing in the holiday spirit. Graves, inspired by his own childhood Christmas gift, aims to share the joy of giving bikes to children in need.
“Receiving a bike as a child was memorable, and I wanted to share that joy,” Graves said. “Partnering with Lacey, who shares a passion for giving back, was a privilege, and seeing the kids’ excitement was incredible.”
