<p>The actress stopped by <em>Daily Pop</em> Tuesday, Nov. 24&#x27;s and told E!&#x27;s <strong><strong>Carissa Culiner</strong></strong> all about it, starting with its name: <em>Dear Christmas</em>. </p>
<p>As part of the Lifetime flick, Melissa&#x27;s character Natalie hosts a popular podcast called <em>Holiday Love</em>, which shares true stories of holiday romance—even though, unbeknownst to her listeners, Natalie&#x27;s never truly experienced a romance of her own. That <em>could</em> change, however, when Natalie—preparing to embark on a book tour—squeezes in a trip back home to spend Christmas with her family. There, she meets a local firefighter (<strong><strong>Jason Priestley</strong></strong>)—because, of course she does—who piques her interest. But is it the real deal? After all, she&#x27;s just visiting!</p>
<p>&quot;<em>Dear Christmas</em> is really sweet,&quot; Melissa said, describing Natalie as someone &quot;who believes in true love,&quot; but just hasn&#x27;t found her own version of it. </p></section><section class="article-detail__segment"></section><section class="article-detail__segment"><p>But what Melissa really loves about<em> Dear Christmas</em>—which also stars <strong>Robin Givens</strong>, <strong>Ed Begley Jr.</strong> and <strong>Faith Prince</strong>, with cameos by <strong><em>One Tree Hill</em></strong>&#x27;s <strong><strong>Hilarie Burton</strong> </strong>and <strong>Antwon Tanner</strong>—is that, like many other holiday films, it provides comfort.</p></section><section class="article-detail__segment"><span data-hook="adp-photo-agency" class="article-detail__image-agency">Gregg DeGuire/Getty Images</span><p>&quot;I think this is the year we all need a happy ending and that&#x27;s what these Lifetime movies do so well,&quot; Melissa admitted on <em>Daily Pop</em>. &quot;They give you a safe place to go and you can just enjoy.&quot;</p>
<p>That is also the case for many of Melissa&#x27;s other projects, even those that date back to the &#x27;90s such as <em>Sabrina the Teenage Witch</em> and <em>Clarissa Explains It All</em>. The 44-year-old revealed it&#x27;s hard to narrow down her favorite memories from the shows, though there is a particular<em> Sabrina</em> episode that she said stands out in her mind.</p>
<p>&quot;One of my favorite episodes that I keep thinking about recently is we went to Animal Kingdom in Disney,&quot; Melissa recalled. &quot;And we did a whole episode at the Animal Kingdom. We got to take the whole crew! We just had a blast.&quot;</p></section><section class="article-detail__segment is-hidden-desktop"><section class="trending-content"><h4><span>Trending Stories</span></h4><strong></strong>1<strong><h3>John Travolta Shares Rare Photo of Son Ben to Celebrate 10th Birthday</h3></strong><strong></strong>2<strong><h3>Kylie Jenner Shows Some Serious Skin in Barely-There Bathing Suit Pic</h3></strong><strong></strong>3<strong><h3>Grammys 2021 Nominations: All the Jaw-Dropping Snubs and Surprises</h3></strong></section></section><section class="article-detail__segment"></section><section class="article-detail__segment"><p>Watch the complete <em>Daily Pop</em> interview with Melissa Joan Hart in the above clip!</p>
