Watch Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert reunite to reprise “Mean Girls” roles in fetch comedy sketch
Lohan and Chabert also recently reunited at a Netflix press day for their respective Christmas movies — "Our Little Secret" and "Hot Frosty."
When it comes to holiday cheer, there's actually a ton for Glen Coco (and, frankly, the rest of us) thanks to Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert's adorable Mean Girls reunion.
The actresses — who first co-starred together in the iconic 2004 teen comedy — re-teamed on Wednesday's episode of Watch What Happens Live, where host Andy Cohen asked them to reprise their roles as Cady Heron and Gretchen Wieners for a short reenactment of a key Mean Girls scene that also saw Cohen wear a blonde wig as Rachel McAdams' Regina George.
"Having lunch with the Plastics was like leaving the actual world and entering girl world — and girl world had a lot of rules," Lohan said, reciting her lines from the movie. Chabert then launched into a revival of the film's memorable lines about buying "a skirt first without asking your friends if it looked good on you."
The clip ended as Cohen channeled Regina storming off to get cheese fries, with Chabert and Lohan transitioning to the moment Cady reveals to Gretchen that she has a crush on Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett).

Lohan, 38, and Chabert, 42, also recently reunited at a press event for their respective Netflix Christmas movies Our Little Secret and Hot Frosty, with both Lohan and Chabert celebrating the holiday reunion on social media.
"So fetch catching up with my girl," Lohan shared to her Instagram Story on Nov. 14, alongside a photo of the pair embracing. Chabert reposted the image to her own Instagram Story, writing, "Love you," underneath the image.
Lohan and Chabert have both participated in Mean Girls reunion projects in the recent past, including a 2023 holiday advertising campaign for Walmart, which also starred Amanda Seyfried.
McAdams was noticeably absent from the commercial, with the Oscar-nominated star later elaborating on why she didn't participate in the reunion, 20 years after she, Lohan, Chabert, and Seyfried first fronted the Tina Fey-penned movie about a teen girl, Cady (Lohan), who moves from Africa to suburban America and navigates the cutthroat world of girlhood cliques.

“I don’t know; I guess I wasn’t that excited about doing a commercial if I’m being totally honest,” McAdams told Variety. “A movie sounded awesome, but I’ve never done commercials, and it just didn’t feel like my bag. Also… I didn’t know that everyone was doing it. I would, of course, always love to be a part of a Mean Girls reunion and hang with my plastics, but yeah, I found that out later.”
Rumors of a reunion sequel have bubbled up for years, though an official sequel featuring all four primary actresses has yet to materialize. Fey returned to the world of Mean Girls earlier this year, however, when she released (and reprised her role as Ms. Norbury) a film version of the original movie's Broadway musical adaptation.

Lohan also returned for the film, in which she briefly appeared as a Mathletes competition moderator.
"Paramount was like, 'Can you get any of the original ladies? And I was like, 'I can't fit five people in,'" Fey, who wrote the script for both movies, previously told Entertainment Weekly of wrangling the appearance. "I felt like if I could only get one person as a surprise, the original movie is really Lindsay's movie. As great as they all are, she's the heart of that movie. And I thought, well, what could she do? I didn't think [she should] play a teacher. I was trying to think of something that you wouldn't expect. And just to have her do that late in the movie, it also feels like it comes, I hope, at a time where fans weren't expecting one more little surprise. It also lets her be smart, which Cady is."
