00:15I would never tell Mariah to move over
00:17Sorry Mariah, I'm so sorry
00:19All I want for Christmas is you
00:25You can be a close second. So much. You're the princess of the holiday. Thank you. Do you love having that title? I do love it

00:41It feels amazing
00:43Excuse me. Can I help you?
00:45This is Jack. I was a snowman. That's not good the coveralls and the boots. Did you steal them?
00:51Yes, and I mean it is a sweet story at its heart, you know
00:55You've got frosty that's trying to help Kathy heal her broken heart learn to love again
01:00So what are you hoping that fans viewers will take away from this film? I think there are a lot of things. It's romantic
01:06It's funny. I hope it makes you laugh and then there are the heartfelt moments that I think are, you know
01:11Very relatable navigating grief and how to take a step forward and to have the courage to do that and to allow
01:17My character has to learn with Jack's help to allow herself to move forward and to open her heart to love again
01:22And I think there's also a beautiful thing that people can take away away from it about community
01:27Yeah, and being a part of that and just this time of year
01:30There is a little bit of magic in the air and you know, it's it's there's something that's just really special
01:35I think about the feeling in this film. There's a whimsical side to it
01:39Want to make the most of the time that I have
01:41With you a man. That's sweet. It's just gotta be magic
01:48First oh man
01:49You're one heck of a romantic. I love making these movies because I love watching them
01:54Like I'm a real fan of holiday movies
01:56And so the fact that a huge part of my career has become
02:00Being a part of making them brings me like pure joy since I was a little kid
02:03This is my favorite time of year. I look forward to it
02:05Now I have an eight-year-old and she looks forward to it and she's eight now
02:09Julia's eight in second grade and we we brought out this Christmas decorations weeks ago
02:14And my house has looked like the North Pole. It's like September
02:19You know, I just love it. It's it makes me happy
02:22It brings back really good memories from my childhood and I feel so blessed that I get to make new memories with Julia
02:28Well, there's no one better. You are just you're magical at it. So thank you for bringing us that much joy
02:34We've got a little mean girls reunion happening here today. I know Lindsay Lohan's just down the hall
02:39I haven't got to go hug her neck yet, but I can't wait to go see her
02:41We need a picture on the gram of the shoe of y'all that has to happen today
02:45But I mean, what are the chances that we could get a Netflix holiday film with the two of you co-starring in it together?
02:53Would you I would love it. I love Lindsay
02:55We've known each other since we were little kids acting in New York and being here in the city
02:58Particularly right now brings back so many memories of auditioning together and doing commercials and you know
03:04And we had such a special experience with mean girls and it's it's all come full circle and it's really
03:09It warms my heart
03:10Man went streaking in front of poor Ethel Jennings
03:17I thought you could use some clothes, but I you're gonna have to try them on. Oh
03:20Whoa, no, I'm not right now. Got it. Now Dustin in this you play hot frosty mister, and I'm sorry not sorry
03:27We have got to talk about those tabs those muscles. How did you do it?
03:33You know, I I got the script about like two weeks prior to shooting
03:38So really for me it was what about weeks? Yeah, it was it was a kind of a last-minute thing
03:43I'm sure they went through like a list of other better choices and then they finally landed on me
03:49But no, it honestly was something that I was, you know
03:51I was nervous about how exposed I would be but I also saw on the other side of it in order to actually do this
03:58Character justice I would have to lean into that and lean into the vulnerability and yeah be running around basically in underwear for two nights
04:05and and sort of
04:07be the butt of a lot of those jokes and the ogling and all that from the townsfolk, but
04:13Honestly, it was a lot of fun. It was actually very liberating to be that uninhibited physically and
04:19Surprisingly, it was one of the best experiences I've had on set
04:23I've never been on a date before please. I need your help with Cassie. It's been a minute for me, too
04:31In the name of God
04:34And Dustin your character in this loves watching cooking demos like obsessed with it
04:39There's a whole show just about Christmas treats that I watched. I have no idea what a nog actually is, but it tastes great. Yeah
04:47this is very
04:50It's just
04:52And actually your former 90210 co-star Meghan Markle. She's doing her own cooking show
04:57So are you gonna be tuning into that? She's doing it here on Netflix. Really? Yeah, absolutely
05:02didn't know that and
05:04Absolutely. I love I'm obsessed. Well, actually while we were filming this I started going through every single top chef season
05:10And I possibly could and became obsessed with it and actually on a very last day of filming to like Bon Appetit that the
05:18Magazine or they had like a weird channel on one of the TVs as well that I was watching
05:22Like four in the morning
05:25Yeah, and I was I honestly I never really put that together
05:28But I guess it must have seeped in because are you Jack? Wait a minute?
05:33But it is kind of hot in here. But no, yeah, I love it. I honestly do love it. I love cooking
05:38I've been buying all kinds of new fancy like utensils and gadgets for the kitchen and stuff
05:45It's just so cool when you can make something delicious that didn't exist before you started throwing it all together, you know this with the coconut
05:53Cake
05:58What is one tradition though during the holidays that you just can't live without I
06:02Love being in the kitchen and cooking like my great-grandmother's coconut cake my grandma's sweet potato pie, you know recipe
06:10I love it just the scents and the smells it brings back so many good childhood memories and then I have to make new memories
06:16With my daughter. That's my favorite. That's yeah, I keep reflecting on this
06:19I do think the new tradition is that I need to just start going to your house for Christmas. You are 100% invited coconut cake
06:28And I never used to be a fan of coconut but recently I've come around to it
06:31I'm a coconut convert and yeah, that sounds sweet potato casserole
06:35When you say that with the accent to it makes it sound like twice as good
06:41So so good, I love it you're making me hungry
06:49You
