Degrassi Alum Loved Working On Lifetime Movie

Alicia Dea Josipovic absolutely enjoyed working on Lifetime’s Secretly Santa. Speaking to Nicki Swift, she confessed that she wanted to do a Christmas movie the last two years.

When she saw the script for Secretly Santa, Alicia was instantly attracted to the character she would portray. “I just was drawn to Miranda because she’s just such a hustler. She’s an everyday girl, but she’s also a hustler, and she’s got a lot of heart. And she’s this strong, independent woman who stands up for what she believes in.”

In the end, she wanted to do an upbeat movie. It sounds like her first Christmas movie is ticking that box. “I just really like the storyline and it was really about doing a feel-good Christmas movie. So I was really excited to do my first Christmas film.”

In addition, it sounds like the chemistry was easy to achieve. Alecia and Travis hit it off right away. She cannot say enough good things about this experience.

“But he’s wonderful. And we just worked really well together. We had great chemistry. We became super, super close on set and so it was awesome. It’s nice having that, working with somebody who you want to see on set every day and that you can bounce ideas off of. He was great. He was wonderful.”

She used “wonderful” twice. Sounds like this movie will also be pretty wonderful!
