This week, Tommy is joined by actress Alexandra Breckenridge, known for her beloved role as Mel on the hit series Virgin River and Sophie from This Is Us. Now, she’s stepping into a surprising new character in her holiday film My Secret Santa. Alexandra opens up about what drew her to the unexpected challenge of playing Santa, the brutally cold shoot at a Canadian ski resort, and the joy of bringing festive magic to the screen. She also talks about the deep emotional parallels between her own life and Mel’s journey, the personal experiences that shaped her performance, and the ongoing challenge of keeping a long-running character fresh and grounded. Plus, Alexandra shares the holiday movies she can’t stop rewatching, the behind-the-scenes friendship that keeps Virgin River fun, and a childhood story she’s never told before involving bullying, dyslexia, and choreographing dance routines to Prince and Elton John. My Secret Santa premieres December 3rd on Netflix.
