Hewitt is, of course, a rising Queen of Christmas herself. She stars in and directs the upcoming Lifetime movie The Holiday Junkie (Hewitt's self-appointed nickname) and one need only to glance at her Instagram feed to know she's a fan of all things festive.
"I watch 40 or 50 [Christmas movies] a year, if I'm being honest," the Ghost Whisperer actress, who was on hand to launch Ferrero Rocher's “Add Your Golden Touch” holiday campaign, told Parade. As for Chabert's movies, she's watched every last one of them. "I'm always rooting for her," she said.

The two starred together in Party of Five, which aired from 1994 to 2000, for almost its entire run, with Hewitt playing Sarah Reeves (Bailey Salinger's girlfriend) and Chabert playing Claudia Salinger.
Hewitt doesn't have an exact idea in mind for their potential reunion. "I just know that I think we should play sisters," she told Parade. "For years, everybody's always thought that we look very similar. I think that would be really fun, to play sisters at Christmas."
So, producers, what are you waiting for?!
"We need people to send all the things," Hewitt said. "Netflix, send it our way, we're ready. Yeah, we want to do something together, and I think that would be really fun."
As if that wasn't gift enough to Party of Five fans, Hewitt went on to reveal that she and Chabert are each other's biggest cheerleaders. When the trailer for The Holiday Junkie came out, Chabert "was the first text on my phone, saying, 'I'm crying. I'm so proud of you. You're in the Christmas space, yay,'" Hewitt shared. "And I always text her pictures of me in my bed watching her new movies when they premiere. I just love her."
