Christmas movie veterans Luke Macfarlane and Italia Ricci joined forces for Catch Me If You Claus, which was a fun holiday caper for Hallmark fans on Thanksgiving night. Viewers were able to see just what the leading man meant when he revealed that Elf was an inspiration for his role of Santa Claus' son, as well as witness a kiss that lasted a whole lot longer than other Hallmark lip-locks. The two stars spoke with CinemaBlend about the romantic moment between their characters, including whether they made Hallmark history.
In Catch Me If You Claus, Avery (Italia Ricci) was hours away from getting her big break as a news anchor on Christmas day when Chris (Luke Macfarlane) crashed her peaceful night with the claim that he's the son of Santa Claus himself. Hijinks ensued as they had to crack a case in time to save Avery's job as well as Christmas itself, with sparks flying between Avery and Chris until they finally kissed with her sitting on top of him in a car.
