Despite her busy role as a mother, she remains active in the entertainment industry, co-hosting Lip Sync Battle and embracing new creative ventures. One of her recent projects is a collaboration with Target, where she and her husband, John Legend, bring festive joy to families with their mini-film Toycracker.

In December 2016, the rookie mom premiered the film alongside her husband in New York.

Chrissy talked about how she and John kept their marriage interesting at the launch. The model shared that distance is surprisingly helpful because it allows the two to miss each other. Aww. Such cuties.

The Toycracker Mini-Film: A Modern Nutcracker Twist

Target has reimagined the Christmas classic “The Nutcracker” with a modern twist. It features Grammy winner John Legend and Chrissy Teigen and popular toys like Barbie, Elmo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Lego Batman. The 8-minute mini-musical, split into two parts, includes music, dancing, costumes, and even rap battles while showcasing popular toys and Christmas cheer.

In the “Nutcracker” story, Isabella Russo plays Clara, a young girl who goes to her room early after the Wi-Fi goes out and can’t use her iPad. Clara falls asleep and dreams that the Nutcracker, the Rat King, and other toys come to life and sing, bringing the classic tale to life with a modern twist.

Chrissy plays the Nutcracker in the mini-film, and her hubby, John, plays the Rat King. The two are surrounded by toys such as Barbie, Trolls, Elmo, and even a Lego Batman.

The project was created in collaboration with advertising agency 72andSunny and featured contributions from musical experts like Tony-nominated lyricist Benj Pasek, Grammy-winning producer Ariel Rechtshaid, and cinematographer Robert Yeoman.
