Carissa: I did not cry, however I did have that gulp-y factor happening, the place your throat’s just a bit… I am just a little overcome. It is a actually good film, you guys.
Tyler: Oh, I am glad you preferred it. Yeah, it is good. Holland did a fully spectacular job, as we’d all count on.
Carissa: Holland, Is not this your first Hallmark film?
Holland: It’s. It’s my first Hallmark.
Carissa: How fortunate for you. You had an important film, Blake Shelton producing, and Tyler is your co-star.
Holland: I bought very fortunate. I used to be simply saying that. I am doing this restricted sequence proper now for them, and I saved referencing it again in August, so I used to be like, “Guys, yeah.”
And I had fairly the very fortunate welcome wagon of everyone, Aurelie and Tyler and David, and so they take actually excellent care of you. It was only a pretty expertise. Cassandra and Tara in make-up and hair. It was a extremely simply pleasant group.
Tyler: Holland, you probably did such a spectacular job. I hope you are comfortable together with your efficiency; I do know this was your first time doing it. There was an entire lot of chaos taking place, however I feel that you’ll be pleasantly stunned with the way it seems, I hope. And yeah, I feel everyone’s excited for it.
Holland: I bought to see one sneak peek. I noticed David on the Calgary airport, of all locations, in passing, and he was going to do one other film, and he emailed me a sneak peek as a result of we bumped into one another, so it was the one within the present store.
Carissa: Tyler, what’s it wish to welcome any individual new to the Hallmark household?
Tyler: I do not know that I’ve any authority to be welcoming anyone.
Carissa: Nicely, positive you do; you are an previous hat.
Tyler: Humorous as a result of it looks like yesterday that I used to be not, and I used to be having the identical conversations on the opposite aspect, however I assume it has been 4 years now and 14 films or no matter it has been. I do know, loopy.
Holland, if this can be a life you want to be part of, I can think about that this shall be in your future if that is what you need, however it’s.
Holland: It has been pretty, yeah.
Tyler: Yeah, it is a pretty place. And to have the ability to work with somebody like Holland who’s newer to this place, it is actually, once more, these films are a particular factor, and any individual who is available in that has the expertise and aptitude and focus and thoughtfulness that Holland has, it is a pleasure.
And I do not do any sort of welcoming; I simply attempt to be supportive nonetheless I can as a result of it is actually not my film. It is her film.
Holland: No, it was an ensemble. We had such an important forged. Everyone in Tyler’s onscreen household was superior. Oh, such a expertise. And our mothers, it was only a actually enjoyable group. Christmas films are a factor, man. I imply, for those who have a look at so many different networks now emulating the Hallmark construction, so to talk.
Carissa: Making an attempt anyway.
Holland: Oh, they’re attempting, precisely.
Carissa: They’re not as profitable.
Holland: I seen there was a brand new Tom Hanks Christmas film out, or Tom Hanks and any individual else. However yeah, I feel it is enjoyable that everybody’s simply in a cheerful place or needs to be again in a cheerful place. I feel after COVID, these films are wanted greater than ever.
Carissa: And Tyler, that is your second Hallmark film in two weeks. What do you want about doing these films?
Tyler: Appropriate. Nicely, I like working with folks like Holland, who’re pretty people who’re proficient and have their very own distinctive strategy. And that is at all times enjoyable. I like the truth that these are films.
It virtually feels just like the previous film mannequin has disappeared. And so that is some microcosm of that the place each film, the prospect to do one thing totally different, to reinvent your self just a little bit and attempt to take a brand new strategy.
And I feel it affords a certain quantity of experimentation for me, personally, as an actor and a certain quantity of creativity that I do not assume is afforded if you are going to be on a sequence commonly or spend a 12 months making a film after which having it come out two years later.
There is a rhythm to this world that feels just a little bit like previous Hollywood, the place you make just a few of them a 12 months popping out, they’ve an viewers, and other people recognize them, which could be very good.
After which, each time you return to the drafting board, you get to reassess and go, “What do I wish to do right here? What is going on to entertain me or do one thing that I feel is worth it doing?” And I feel that that is a really enjoyable factor. And clearly, the individuals who watch these films are the best human beings on the planet.
Carissa: They are surely.
Tyler: Yeah, it is completely foolish. I’ve different mates who’ve individuals who observe them and such and listening to the kind of feedback or interactions that they’ve, it is simply wildly totally different than mine. And I can solely communicate from my very own expertise.
And I did a Fb Stay yesterday with a Fb group which are those that watch my films, and it is onerous to not get completely emotionally touched by all the pieces on this neighborhood. So for all these causes is why I am nonetheless right here and comfortable to be right here and grateful.
Carissa: Your two films could not have been extra totally different characters. I imply, you have been hilarious, and I hadn’t seen Three Clever Males and a Child after I talked to you, however my goodness. I imply, actually humorous stuff.
And also you have been utterly totally different than anything you have been in. And then you definately bought to do that, which is way extra dramatic and a contact of romance, and yeah, I can see why it will be very, very fulfilling to get these alternatives in such quick order and never have to attend some time for when it comes out.
Tyler: Yeah, completely. And having the ability to hear your response to it and other people’s response to it this shortly after making it’s… As a result of I bear in mind all the pieces that I did. I bear in mind each alternative that I made. After which seeing the direct response to that’s, I feel folks chase in theater, in dwell theater, and someway we’re on this.
I like the self-discipline of filmmaking, however I began in theater after I was younger, and I did love the immediacy of that interplay and that response. And so I feel, someway, I am managing to search out myself within the circumstance the place I am getting sort of the most effective of each worlds.
And precisely what you are saying, these films are very totally different, and due to this fact the characters could be totally different. I get to strategy it with that sort of thoughtfulness the place I can push the characters farther a method and the opposite in context to the opposite characters, which is enjoyable. This one goes to be totally different than actually Three Clever Males and a Child.
Carissa: Positive, a lot totally different.
Holland: It is an important analogy. The immediacy is that you simply, like Tyler was saying, positively really feel such as you made these decisions yesterday, and they are much extra on the forefront of your mind of remembering every take and the take they selected for that scene. So it is very nice. It’s positively the theater for TV so far as the turnaround that they are in a position to get these out.
Tyler: I am excited for you, Holland, to expertise that. As a result of, once more, I understand how considerate and disciplined you’re and the way charismatic and the way simply you deal with this world, however I do know that you simply care about what you do, and I do know that you simply care about these performances. So having the ability to have an instantaneous response, I am unable to wait so that you can expertise that.
Holland: Oh, completely. I come from a world with a really loyal fan base from a present I used to be on for a very long time, so they appear very comparable. And I am positive there are concentric circles even in those that watch Hallmark and those that watch Teen Wolf.
Tyler: Yeah? You assume?
Holland: There could possibly be. I will be curious to see as a result of seeing Tyler’s relationship with the those that watch his films felt actually heartwarming however very comparable. And so I am very curious to see. Teen Wolf just isn’t regular within the relationship that now we have with them and the way usually we get to see them at signings, and that is similar to Hallmark.
So I am excited to be hopefully welcomed into one other household and simply really feel that heat as a result of there’s not, all reveals do have that heat, and never all networks have that heat, so it is a rarity to expertise it as soon as, not to mention twice. So I am simply nervous and excited to see how that reception will go. Nevertheless it needs to be enjoyable.
Carissa: And do not be nervous. Do not be nervous in any respect. What I like about having somebody such as you are available in with an already-established fan base is even when they weren’t followers of Hallmark films earlier than, you are going to be bringing a brand new viewers to Hallmark.
Holland: Perhaps.
Carissa: After which, oh, they’re going to come. They may. If you happen to’re in one thing, that is what they do, they observe you, and so they wish to watch you.
Holland: Oh, effectively, I am unable to think about a few of the themes which are in that present positively are on this film as effectively.
Carissa: Completely.
Holland: So yeah, I am curious to see who’re already followers of Hallmark as a result of the quantity of those that watch these Christmas films is fairly astonishing. And I assume I am not stunned as a result of they’re such nice feel-good films.
I am curious to see, I guess you there are already Hallmark followers within the Teen Wolf household, so I am simply excited to, like I stated, to satisfy them and see how they like our movie.
Carissa: So would every of you go forward and simply inform me just a little bit about your characters and the place we discover them in the beginning of the film and just a little bit about their journey, with out spoiling an excessive amount of, and what you actually loved about taking part in this explicit character? Do you wish to begin, Holland?
Holland: Positive. I play a woman that’s the daughter of a beauty empire, and with out giving an excessive amount of away, I’m ushered into this type of pre-made profession if I so need it. Nevertheless, I want to take a unique route in a unique trade.
And concurrently, now we have a gaggle of mates which are assembly up for the vacations, and there’s a time reduce all through this film. And it is a matter of circumstances that occur in a single timeframe and the way it impacts the opposite timeframe. And a little bit of a scavenger hunt is all lumped into this film, so there are a number of storylines happening.
I might virtually say there are 4 storylines versus perhaps three for those who’re fortunate. And this one, I really feel like, virtually has 4. And so the way it’s all weaved out and in of one another is mostly a testomony to Marcy Holland.
Carissa: How about you, Tyler?
Tyler: So my man, Josh, is a author. Each Holland’s character and my character. We’re writers, and so they’re type of on their approach to changing into journalists in a much bigger approach of their careers when one thing happens in each their lives that finally ends up setting them in several instructions with every kind of water underneath the bridge and issues on unsaid that we study in our story.
I feel what’s good about this film is that our characters are sort of set, and it is extra concerning the circumstance that we’re in, the way it’s affecting our characters in real-time by way of the story that we’re being informed that creates the arc of what that character’s going by way of. It isn’t like he learns one thing about himself.
I imply, he does, however this isn’t the main focus of the film. It is concerning the circumstances that they are in and telling the 2 storylines which are taking place concurrently, which makes this film actually, actually lovely, I feel.
And the way they replicate off one another, each storylines making a little bit of an interaction with one another could be very enjoyable. And I feel my character has a purity in what he needs, however we see him make errors that get rectified within the film.
Holland: It is fairly the jigsaw puzzle. I feel it is in all probability extra of a jigsaw puzzle than Hallmark sees on a traditional foundation.
Tyler: Sure, that is this. Yeah, this was Marcy Holland, and I am so glad that Holland introduced her identify up as a result of she wrote an ideal script. It was one of many scripts that you simply learn, and also you simply go, “That is excellent. I would not change a factor.”
And it was a good looking, tightly-woven tapestry that she constructed that has simply the correct amount of knowledge and simply pulls you alongside web page by web page. And I feel the film did the identical factor and captured an excellent tone to it that makes it really feel joyful and bittersweet, somber however stuffed with love and heat. And it is bought a extremely attention-grabbing feeling to the film.
There is a tune that they put in it, I assume it is a Grammy-winning tune known as Peace Pleasure Love. And it is simply this lovely choir repeating this phrase time and again. And it’s extremely emotional, and it is within the scene with you, Holland, if you’re on the church, lighting a candle.
Holland: Oh, attention-grabbing. Okay.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcJURx72wLU
Tyler: And this tune, they despatched it to me after I was engaged on the final film I used to be doing on my approach to work and simply discovered myself listening to it on a repeat, blubbering.
Holland: Oh, it is pretty.
Tyler: It’s this lovely tune. However I feel that tune actually encapsulates the sensation of this film.
Carissa: You are proper concerning the feeling of this film too. It actually evokes loads of emotion. And what I like about it’s that loads of occasions, Hallmark films could be predictable.
Tyler: Yeah.
Carissa: However right here, you do not know the place it is taking you.
Tyler: Oh good, sure.
Carissa: There’s nothing predictable within the film in any respect.
Tyler: Yeah. It is humorous as a result of it is like this emotional powder keg, however as a result of it is wrapped on this type of thriller, it is bought a thriller-y, enjoyable facet the place you need you simply go alongside for the journey. So the emotion of it would not get too potent or highly effective the place it overwhelms you, nevertheless it’s actually there.
However the thrill of determining what occurred or what these tales are and what’s occurring as that thriller unravels it is a bizarre mixture of enjoyable, intrigue, and loss. Have you learnt what I imply? Or some grief. It is an attention-grabbing mixture.
Holland: Yeah. It is price noting that musical visitor Tenille Townsend is on this film, and she or he is past pretty, as effectively. She might be essentially the most, I imply, it is not even to say that she was a pure actor for a musician; she was only a good actor.
Tyler: She was so good. She was so good within the film. I watched, and I used to be like, “What’s going on?” And also you felt that in individual.
Holland: She was superb. She was simply pretty. I used to be like, “Lady, you bought a profession if you’d like one; I do know you already are doing this factor fairly wholeheartedly.” However she was actually pretty, and her voice is unbelievable, very pure. Just like the runs that she will do, acapella, however effortlessly, and she or he’s very humble about it and only a pretty spirit to have on set.
I grew to become a fan. I am not even a conventional nation individual, though I am from Texas, However she made a fan out of me, and I wish to go see her in Nashville. Hopefully, folks will see the great large cherry on the sundae is having her part of the movie.
And congrats Tyler; I have been seeing all of the protection for Three Clever Males and a Child. It appears so cute.
Tyler: Yeah, it was an excellent time. It was very good. Individuals appear to take pleasure in it. Carissa is a fan, so I’ve succeeded.
Carissa: Oh, it was simply very humorous.
Holland: Has Hallmark seen that dynamic earlier than with Three Males and a Child?
Carissa: No.
Holland: That is nice. I like that. Sorely wanted, so I am glad you guys stuffed that place.
Carissa: I have been a proponent for years of attempting to get many Hallmark actors into one manufacturing as a result of there are such a lot of alternatives for siblings, for mates, and it was at all times simply male-female. And now that we’re getting these three females, three males collectively, they’re improbable films. It is actually, actually utilizing the expertise effectively.
Tyler: It is our personal little HCU, Hallmark’s cinematic universe.
Holland: I used to be going to name it the Justice League of Hallmark. Yeah, all of them converge.
Tyler: That is proper. There’s any individual who made a poster of an Avengers poster with the three of our faces in there and the infant within the Child Bjorn.
Holland: Ah, that is nice.
Tyler: It is improbable; I am only a large fan of it.
Carissa: That is superior. So what do you assume that viewers are most going to love about this film? What is going on to enchantment to them essentially the most?
Holland: I feel, as a viewer, I like loads of twists and turns that hold me on my toes.
I feel it will be subjective to every individual watching, however for me, what entices me most about this movie is the serendipitous connection, six levels of separation kind of film, so that is what initially drew me to the script. It is simply my bag of tea. Yeah, for me, that is what I might select. However I feel it is within the eye of the beholder. What about you, Tyler?
Tyler: Yeah, I feel what you are saying is totally proper. The thriller unfolding goes to be the tether that pulls everyone by way of it. And I feel the truth that Blake Shelton is concerned and he is managed to usher in somebody like Tenille who’s unbelievably proficient, she provides a fully pretty efficiency on the finish of our film singing Christmas tune.
I feel they play the entire tune in the long run of the film, and so they simply hold coming to me, and also you canoodling within the viewers, and it is fairly pretty. However I feel the truth that they get that entire efficiency from Tenille goes to be a pleasant factor.
And I feel Holland’s efficiency and the efficiency of our different forged on this film, mixed with the writing being so effectively thought out and exactly executed, I feel that it will make for a uniquely-toned Hallmark film that’ll have loads of heat and loads of coronary heart and just a little little bit of heartache, but in addition loads of enjoyable and a few nice music so it is a fairly difficult mixture and I feel persons are going to take pleasure in it a bit.
Holland: Yeah, to echo that, I am biased, however the music, with Blake Shelton being concerned like Tyler stated, is perhaps a notch above the remaining as a result of it’s musically centric, extra so than different Christmas films. In order that’s one thing that makes a viewer go, “Oh, that units it other than the remaining,” completely.
Carissa: And my closing query for you is, what message do you wish to share together with your followers this vacation season?
Holland: That is type of off-topic, however what involves my thoughts is I had an concept for this Christmas, and I feel this may be performed on any financial stage, however I feel forgoing items and going someplace with both your mates or your loved ones, whoever you have fun the vacations with, that could possibly be even with simply your canine for those who’re solo.
However I like this concept that, for youths, is likely to be a unique story, however as all grownup kids going house to your dad and mom or to your loved ones unit, I might say journeys. Both that is down the street, and also you’re tenting, or that is getting on an airplane and going to someplace you are not used to going, the local weather that you simply’re not used to being in.
I feel foregoing the materialistic a part of it and having extra of a shared expertise is one thing that I want my household did extra of. And I hold pushing it on the agenda. So I feel a collective shared expertise is among the strongest items you may give at Christmas.
So I might urge folks to probably assume alongside the strains of that this vacation season. Clearly, the five-year-old, they’ll need the latest, newest, coolest doll or motion determine. However for these a bit extra mature, I might say attempt that on for dimension for those who’re on the lookout for new concepts.
Carissa: How about you, Tyler?
Tyler: I feel what Holland’s saying is totally pretty, and I like that sentiment, and I wholeheartedly agree. I feel there is a custom that I type of started with my household and mates the place we take a tiny little shot out of a tiny little boot-shaped shot glass. It appears like a boot, a Santa boot.
Holland: Aw.
Tyler: And so I give it to all of my family and friends, and all of us take a photograph of ourselves taking a shot out of it at Christmas, and we dangle it on our tree as an decoration.
Holland: You informed me about this.
Tyler: Yeah. So we began it; I will should ship you a boot.
Holland: Aw.
Tyler: This was one thing that I spoke about in a earlier interview or two, and the parents who watched these films on this particular Fb group, they type of joined in on this custom final Christmas, and we did a dwell the place we simply all took a drink collectively, and other people made collages, and so they shared it with one another of everyone’s screenshots at that second.
I feel it simply made folks, whereas being type of splintered other than COVID, really feel like they have been with people and, such as you’re saying, Holland, with out too many materials possessions being concerned.
And I feel that was a extremely pretty factor. And so then I’ve spent the final 12 months making a fabric possession within the type of these boots. [laughs]
Holland: I may need to steal this concept as effectively; I like this concept.
Tyler: It is wild. Yeah, they’re essentially the most pretty human beings on the planet, and it was like my brother put up the web site, and so they’re going, “We’re attempting to buy it internationally, and we will not.” I’m going, “Oh my goodness, bear with us.” After which different persons are chiming in, going, “We’ll purchase it for you, and we’ll ship it to you since you’re in Eire.”
Carissa: Oh, that is pretty.
Tyler: It’s the most heart-smashing factor you could possibly probably expertise. And so if there’s any message to say to anyone, it will be that I very vastly a lot recognize everyone’s angle and spirit with regards to this world that we type of play within the sandbox.
I am extremely grateful for everyone. Even of us like your self, Carissa, you’re a lot part of this entire expertise for individuals who watch these films, for myself who makes them. And I like this type of ecosystem that we’re in, and I am simply extremely grateful and grateful for that. And I am grateful for you and the conversations that we get to have.
The truth that there’s any curiosity in any respect within the issues that we’re spending our time serious about and doing, and I simply need everyone to really feel that love and appreciation as a result of it’s totally, very a lot one thing that I take into consideration usually and day by day. So thanks. I am going to begin by saying thanks, Carissa, right here since you’re proper in entrance of me in the meanwhile, so I actually recognize it.

Carissa: That, my pal, is why you are a star. That is why you are a star of Hallmark. That is it proper there.
Tyler: You are very variety. I am not the man, I am quantity two. You are improper. Quantity two on the decision sheet. Holland’s the star, she’s primary. I am the opposite man.
Holland: It is each of us.
Carissa: You are each stars. You are each stars in my e book.
