Reykjavik, Iceland – Hallmark stars Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha reunite for the first time in a leading role in the upcoming holiday film, “The Christmas Quest,” premiering December 1st on the Hallmark Channel. The film, shot entirely on location in Iceland, sees the pair portraying ex-spouses embarking on a treasure hunt for the legendary Treasure of the Yule Lads.

Chabert and Polaha, who previously shared a brief scene in “Haul Out the Holly,” expressed excitement about finally collaborating on a full project. The unique premise of the film, featuring a romantic relationship with a pre-existing history, appealed to both actors. Chabert highlighted the emotional depth and unresolved issues between the characters, creating an engaging dynamic. Polaha emphasized the shift from the typical “honeymoon phase” romance seen in many Hallmark films, focusing instead on a rekindled connection.

Filming in Iceland proved to be a memorable, if challenging, experience. The actors recounted navigating glacier hikes in crampons and filming in breathtaking locations, including lava caves, waterfalls, and glaciers. Both actors shared that witnessing the Northern Lights was a highlight, with Polaha even sharing the experience with his family on his son’s 18th birthday.

“The Christmas Quest” promises a visually stunning adventure with a unique romantic storyline, set against the dramatic backdrop of Iceland. Viewers can experience the magic of Iceland from the comfort of their homes when the film premieres on December 1st.
