Jennifer Beals, whom we love, love, loved as Bette Porter on The L Word, has been cast in Hallmark Channel’s TV movie The Night Before the Night Before Christmas, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The production won’t put her in the couture outfits or compromising positions she often found herself in on the L Word set. The holiday film is about the mishaps Santa Claus encounters when he leaves the North Pole a day early and crash-lands on a family’s roof.

It is currently shooting in Toronto and will premiere on Hallmark Channel for the holidays in 2010.

Since The L Word wrapped in February, Beals has kept busy playing Assistant U.S. Attorney Zoe Landau on the Fox drama Lie to Me. She also will appear in the upcoming sci-fi film The Book of Eli.
