In the 90s, Rachel Leigh Cook was considered one of Hollywood’s It Girls.
Rachel’s stint in She’s All That alongside Freddie Prinze Jr., Usher, and the late Paul Walker catapulted her to fame.
Rachel went on to appear on the TV series Dawson’s Creek and Las Vegas and star in movies like Josie and the Pussycats and Texas Rangers.
Although she’s still acting, Rachel did take a step back from Hollywood to focus on raising her kids, Charlotte and Theo.
This year, Rachel’s making a splash with her Hallmark Christmas film that features her in a new light.
Oh yes, She’s All That fans won’t even recognize the former Hollywood starlet in her new role.
Rachel Leigh Cook stars in Hallmark Now’s Rescuing Christmas
Taking to Instagram to kick off the week, Rachel teased her new movie, which happens to be hitting Hallmark airwaves soon.
Sharing a few pictures from her movie Rescuing Christmas, Rachel used the caption to tease the flick.
“More images from Rescuing Christmas airing Dec 7th on @hallmarkmoviesnow ! There’s a free trial if you’re not yet a subscriber and I can’t think of a better month than Dec to take it for a spin ❤️ This is a great movie to watch with the whole fam, so silly and heartfelt. I just love it. Merry everything to you and yours ✨” she wrote.
The trailer for Rescuing Christmas reveals the movie focuses on Erin, played by Rachel, and her wish Christmas didn’t exist. When the wish is granted, it doesn’t take long for Erin to realize her massive mistake.
Erin enlists Sam, played by Hallmark hunk Sam Page, to help her reinvent Christmas. During the process, Erin is reminded of the holiday spirit and the traditions surrounding the magical time of year.
Rachel has come a long way from her She’s All That days, no longer playing a teen, but she’s still killing it as an actress.
In fact, she joins the likes of Lacey Chabert (Party of Five) and Alison Sweeney (Days of our Lives) as one of the female faces of Hallmark.
