Meet the Real-Life Loves of Netflix's Hot Frosty Cast (Including a Couple That Got Married Three Days Before Christmas!)

B.Hernandez29 min ago
Netflix's new holiday movie Hot Frosty may tell an improbable love story, but off-screen the cast have their own romantic tales to tell.

In the November 2024 film, Christmas movie queen Lacey Chabert plays young widow Kathy Barrett, whose life goes from messy to magical when her red scarf brings a chiseled snowman named Jack ( Dustin Milligan ) to life.

"Jack's childlike, playful quality and excitement of being alive brings out Kathy's playfulness and reminds her what she loves about the holidays," Chabert told PEOPLE in October 2024. "He gives her the courage to consider opening her heart again after such a painful event in her life."

Off-screen, Chabert seems to be a fan of Christmas just like her character — she and her husband, David Nehdar , wed three days before the holiday in 2013. The couple are now getting to experience Christmas through their daughter Julia's eyes.

During an appearance on CBS Mornings in November 2024, Milligan told the hosts that Hot Frosty brought his significant other, actress Amanda Crew , to tears both times she watched the film. As for their special holiday traditions, the actor said they like to put their chihuahua, Doug, in various festive costumes.

Here's everything to know about the real-life partners of the Hot Frosty cast.

of 07 Lacey Chabert and David Nehdar Lacey Chabert, who stars in Hot Frosty as Kathy, has been married to her husband, David Nehdar, for more than a decade.

The couple wed on Dec. 22, 2013, but didn't announce their nuptials until the New Year.

"He's not in the business and we like our privacy, and I just think relationships are hard enough without the opinion of strangers. So we try to keep it as personal and private as possible," Chabert told PEOPLE in 2014.

Nehdar and the Mean Girls alum share one daughter: Julia Mimi Bella , whom they welcomed in 2016. While Chabert feels "very thankful," to still be booking acting gigs, she told PEOPLE in 2019 that Julia is her " No. 1 priority ."

of 07 Dustin Milligan and Amanda Crew Dustin Milligan, who plays Jack, met actress Amanda Crew on the set of 2010's Repeaters, and the couple have been together ever since.

Milligan and Crew have not discussed their wedding, but he did refer to her as his "wife" during a November 2024 appearance on CBS Mornings.

Crew interviewed Milligan for her blog FRANK back in 2016. In the intro, Crew described the actor as "whip-smart, sincere, thoughtful, loyal, creative, self-deprecating and one of the funniest people I know."

She added, "I've never met someone with a brain like yours."

of 07 Katy Mixon and Breaux Greer Katy Mixon, who portrays Dottie, is no stranger to Christmas movies. Fans might remember her from Four Christmases, which premiered in 2008 and starred Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn .

When she's not playing a humorous character on-screen, she's at home with her husband Breaux Greer — a retired Olympic track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw.

The couple share two kids: Kingston Saint , born in 2017, and Elektra Saint , who arrived three days before her brother's first birthday in 2018.

of 07 Joe Lo Truglio and Beth Dover Joe Lo Truglio, who plays Deputy Sheriff Ed Schatz, married fellow actor Beth Dover in 2014. Two years later, they welcomed their son, Eli.

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum never misses an opportunity to gush about his wife on Instagram .

"Happy birthday to this amazing person who every day adds all the good stuff. You raise the bar on everything you do. We're so lucky," Lo Truglio wrote in honor of Dover's birthday in August 2024.

The couple have worked on several projects together over the years, including the 2022 film Outpost and a scripted podcast titled The Bystanders .

Following their first wedding anniversary, G Flip told PEOPLE that married life is "great."

" We adore each other , and we're excited for our future. We're so cute together," they added.
