Hot Frosty
is a part of Netflix's lineup of 2024 holiday movies and is scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, November 13.
Lacey Chabert and Dustin Milligan (who the audience will likely know from their previous popular films and TV shows) are the faces of the Netflix Christmas movie. However, the rest of the cast includes plenty of other recognizable faces. Hot Frosty's stars range from holiday film veterans to actors from popular sitcoms, but they all come together to bring the movie's heartwarming tale to life.
Lacey Chabert As Kathy
Date Of Birth: September 30, 1982
Actress: Lacey Chabert was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, but was raised in Purvis, Mississippi, and participated in various beauty pageants as a child, while also starring in commercials. Her being thrust into the spotlight at a young age inspired Chabert to continue pursuing an acting career as she got older. When she was only 10 years old, Chabert starred as young Cosette in Les Misérables on Broadway. However, Chabert rose to prominence when she played Claudia Salinger in Party of Five (although many will recognize the actress from her role as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls).
