"EXmas" Stars Leighton Meester & Robbie Amell Gave Us The Most Chaotic Holiday Advice
As soon as the clock strikes midnight on October 31, I'm in Christmas movie mode. I'm all about rom-coms like The Holiday, nostalgic favorites like Eloise at Christmastime, and classics like It's A Wonderful Life. While cozy comfort movies feel totally magical (especially when they're paired with hot cocoa and the cutest holiday decor ever), watching a crazy Christmas movie is an equally fun experience — they're often more realistic anyway! Cramming half a dozen people who don't usually live together into a single home can lead to a lot of fun, chaos, and memory making. If that sounds like your holiday experience, then Amazon Freevee's new movie EXmas might be the family holiday movie you've been waiting for.
Watch Our Interview With Leighton Meester and Robbie Amell for "EXmas"
We chatted with Leighton Meester and Robbie Amell ahead of EXmas' release and not only did we talk about family game nights, Christmas Day traditions, and Christmas music, they also offered the most hilarious advice: what to do if you run into an ex over the holidays.
Watch Our Exclusive Clip From Leighton Meester's "EXmas" Here
EXmas follows two exes (Leighton Meester's Ali and Robbie Amell's Graham) who wind up at the same family Christmas. After a game night gone wrong, Graham and Ali decide to make a bet: only one of them gets to stay until Christmas Day, and it's up to the family to decide. This exclusive clip *perfectly* captures how competitive Ali and Graham are!
What is EXmas about?
Graham (Robbie Amell) makes a last minute trip home to surprise his family for Christmas. But he isn't the only one who wanted to spend the holidays with the family; his ex-fiancée Ali (Leighton Meester) also came to visit! So, naturally, they decide only one of them will be able to stay. The only catch? The family has to pick.
