Angela Kinsey Talks About Hallmark’s Confessions Of A Christmas Letter
Hallmark’s Countdown To Christmas continues with Confessions Of A Christmas Letter. This stars The Office star Angela Kinsey in her first Hallmark Christmas movie. She portrays Settie Rose. Settie has one goal. She wants to write the perfect Christmas letter. Moreover, she wants some local recognition. That is because the town’s best Christmas letter gets acknowledged at the post office.
Therefore Settie enlists the help of a struggling novelist named Juan to help her with her letter. This sets off a chain of events that changes the lives of her family, as well as Juan’s. Juan overcomes his writer’s block, but that is not all. Soon, Settie’s quirky family is something she appreciates, flaws and all.
This is the setting for a movie that Angela Kinsey Told Entertainment Weekly was “A relatable storyline.” She continued, “That idea that you have to be perfect and your family has to be perfect, and the pressure people put on themselves around the holidays. Through the movie, my character learns to just let go of that. I thought that was really relatable and important. It’s just a fun, sweet movie.”
Angela Kinsey Talks About Office Reunion With Brian Baumgartner
What is fun and sweet about the new Hallmark Christmas movie Confessions Of A Christmas Letter is The Office reunion between Angela Kinsey and Brian Baumgartner. Brian portrays Sam the postman who is one of the Christmas letter judges. His role is pretty important to the story.
In addition, Sam is pivotal to Settie’s decision to hire a professional to write her story. Sam is her severest critic. After reading one letter, Sam tells Settie, “No amount of dressing is going to salve the word salad you just forced me to digest.”
As for acting together, Kinsey revealed that she and her former costar “picked up right where we left off.” She also explained that they are still “good friends.” Moreover, filming this gave them the opportunity to catch up with their personal lives. She summed it up, “To spend the day together was just really special:”
Office fans need to thank the production company who thought that an Office reunion would be fun. Angela knew who would be perfect as Sam and now, Hallmark fans get to enjoy this special reunion.
Confession Of A Christmas Letter premieres on Sunday, November 17, at 8 p.m., Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel.
