Christmas at the Kringles director Kevin Lewis, and actors Arden Myrin, Rob Riggle and Thomas Lennon talk about some of their favorite moments and experiences making the film, and how much fun more Christmas comedy-horror could be.

Director Kevin Lewis talks about working to balance the comedy & comedic timing with all of the third act destruction aimed at both actors and sets, and using as many practical effects as possible.

Thomas Lennon (“Nick Kringle”) talks about his take on playing the crazy family patriarch, and doing most of his own fighting against Peter Livingston. And yes, holiday horror films are a genre he’d love to dive into again.

Arden Myrin (“Carol Kringle”) talks about the personality and behavior quirks for Carol, as well as her customizations for her Christmas wardrobe (think Real Housewives of the North Pole). There’s a lot going on behind that particular smile!.

Rob Riggle (“Battle Santa”) talks about preparing for fight scenes with Beverly D’Angelo and embodiment of a Santa committing to violence in the name of saving the true spirit of Christmas, and possibly preparing for a Round 2. And also the dangers of having too much glitter embedded in his facial hair.
