She also mentioned that her eight-year-old daughter, Julia, whom she shares with husband David Nehdar adores her movies, especially the Christmas ones. Lacey explained that Christmas is Julia’s “favorite time of year.” The Mean Girls alum continued, “And I’m happy that I’m able to make things that she can sit down and watch with us.”

Lacey brought her holiday cheer and essence to Raising Cane’s fifth annual bike giveaway on Tuesday, December 10. She partnered with the fast food eatery’s owner Todd Graves to gift about 100 bikes and helmets onsite to the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem members. Guests came to the fast casual restaurant chain’s Times Square winter wonderland set up across from their Global Flagship location. Raising Cane’s donated a total of 400 bikes and helmets to the Harlem program and will donate 2,500 bikes across nearly 25 cities.

In a sea of red and white from the Christmas decor such as trees, presents and candy canes to the bikes and helmets themselves (also bearing the Raising Cane’s logo), Lacey and Todd welcomed the children and gave speeches.

In their speeches, Todd spoke about his connection with the bike giveaway as he used to receive bikes as a kid on Christmas and would be so “excited.” With those memories, he “wanted to give back and spread that same joy to kids in need across the country” especially with his “purpose and privilege.”

The Louisiana native also said Lacey brought “joy” to his family and to others with her holiday films. He continued with, “She embodies the spirit of the season and I couldn’t think of anyone better to help us spread cheer through our bike giveaway.”
