Someday I will be able to process this rollercoaster of emotions and put into words just how transformative this experience was. This was my first Christmas movie, my first time being #1 on the call sheet. Three weeks ago I was nervous as hell walking into the table read. And today I head home with a wealth of experience and new friends for life. I’m so grateful for my wonderful co-stars and our hardworking crew, and to our fabulous director @christiewillwolf for her leadership, guidance, and friendship. And I will especially miss my leading man, @actordanpayne, who made every single day brighter with his effortless charm, extraordinary talent, and genuine love for everyone around him.

And most of all – to my hero, @candacecbure. I’m not sure how it’s possible, but we became even closer through this experience. Having your producer also be one of your best friends is just about the greatest gift I could’ve asked for. CCB, I love you and I’m so so grateful for you – for your advice, your listening ear, and your unwavering support and belief in me. Thank you. ❤️

I know everyone jokes that all Christmas movies are the same…but this one hits different, I promise! I can’t wait for everyone to see Christmas on Candy Cane Lane on December 3rd on @gactv!”
