In a new post on Instagram, Rachael, 43, gave some glimpses of her new Christmas movie on Hallmark, Rescuing Christmas.

The television star looked completely different from her time as nerd-turned-prom queen in She's All That, with long, wavy hair and a full face of flawless makeup.

In one of the pics, Rachael sat at home and made a Christmas tree out of toilet roll, while another showed her next to Santa Claus at a festive market.

One shot showed her looking disgruntled while holding a plastic fox, while the presence of Hallmark hunk Sam Page in the background suggested romance could be in the cards.

Alongside the shots, Rachael wrote: "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."

In the comment section, one fan wrote: "I cannot wait to watch this. I have enjoyed watching all these new movies that you’re in! I’ve been a fan since She’s all that was released and this is so very exciting! I love your acting."

A second social media user wrote: "I love your Xmas movies. Tis the season to be Merry is one of my favs!"

"Yay!! Watching you at Christmas is just what I need," agreed a third.

DEJA VU

Although Rachael is all grown up since her She's All That days, the star was brought back in for a long-awaited reboot.

After the success of She's All That, Netflix aired a new version in 2021.

In the new film, He's All That, a young man undergoes a glow-up makeover.

The movie starred Addison Rae, with its trailer unveiled on TikTok.

Kourtney Kardashian also showed off her acting props, while Rachael herself snagged a starring role.

Rachael played Anna, the mom of Addison Rae's main character, Padgett.

HOT MAMA

Alongside playing a mom on screen, Rachael is a mom in real life, but has split from her children's father.

In 2021, Rachael and her ex-husband Daniel Gillies finalized their divorce two years after they split.

Los Angeles-based judge signed off on the divorce on March 10, 2021, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly.

The case was resolved in mediation, while the legal document detailed the exes’ plans for their children and pets as they move forward.

Neither party was set to receive spousal support, and the former couple agreed to share joint physical and legal custody of their children: Charlotte, nine; and Theo, seven.

She was also put down to keep a 2020 Audi and her personal items, while her ex was granted ownership of his 2019 BMW, the title and interest associated with Lovesfool Productions, Inc. and his personal items.
