It’s hard to believe that Рождество was a месяц ago. All the decorations are now packed up tightly, half the toys received are broken, the daily grind is back in full свинг, качели and all those original Рождество TV Фильмы are long gone – или are they?

I have a feeling there’s one movie among all the new holiday tales that is still being saved on DVR’s everywhere (including mine). Of course, I’m referring to Melissa Joan Hart’s Рождество rom-com, “A VERY MERRY TOY STORE.”

Originally airing in December on Lifetime, Melissa stars with Mario Lopez as rival toy Магазин owners who reluctantly Присоединиться forces against the “bad” guys – a devious toy magnate and his henchwoman, Miss Halifax.

These “bad” characters are so “good” that I jumped at the chance to ask actress CAMERON MEYER some Вопросы about Miss Halifax and more:

Give us a recap of your role in “A Very Merry Toy Store.”

CAMERON: Billy Gardell plays the unscrupulous owner of a chain of big-box toy stores that comes to a small town. I play his henchwoman, like his right hand.

Did Ты do anything specific in preparing to play ‘bad’?

CAMERON: Miss Halifax doesn't think she's bad! I just decided she had a very strong point of view about doing whatever it takes to be successful at her job. And she's very loyal to her boss.

What would Ты consider your characters ‘best’ quality? And their ‘worst’?

CAMERON: Halifax is driven and works super hard, which is admirable. However...she may have an empathy problem LOL. She may not care so much for others, except for her boss...and small dogs.

Was this cast as fun to hang out with as we imagine?

CAMERON: This was a super fun cast. Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez were both very easygoing and generous as actors. Billy Gardell was very supportive of me, and he is fantastic in his role. And pretty much everything out of Mario Cantone's mouth made me laugh.

Are Ты a Фан of these guilty-pleasure Рождество films или is it just a job?

CAMERON: I am a Фан of these films. I like dark and edgy films as well, but there are times in life for all of us when what we need most from a movie is laughter and a light touch. These holiday films serve that need, which is just as real as the need to, at other times, be provoked или moved to tears by еще dramatic films.

And, now just for fun:
Who’s your Избранное actor/actress?

CAMERON: I am a huge Cary Grant fan.

What role from the past do Ты wish Ты could have played?

CAMERON: Who wouldn't want to be Elaine in “Seinfeld”? If they are recasting a reboot, I'm just sayin'...

Favorite movie или TV Показать from your childhood.

CAMERON: My Избранное movie is “His Girl Friday.”

Tell us one thing that would surprise our readers to learn about you.

CAMERON: I still take Актёрское искусство classes. I think it's important to keep working on your craft as much as possible. I study at a school that's been around a long time called the Beverly Hills Playhouse. So if Ты stop by, don't be scared if Ты see Halifax hanging out in the office.

How can Фаны keep up with you?

CAMERON: Hit me up on Twitter: @cameronmeyer1 link или Instagram: @cameronmeyer1 link- I'd Любовь to hear from you!

Thanks, Cameron -- for being so "bad"!
