Christmas movies are also the gift that keeps giving for One Tree Hill fans. Us Weekly says holiday movies give Hilaire Burton a chance to get old friends together and that holiday moviemaking is "an exercise in figuring out which of your friends is available and is right for the part... we're just so lucky that when we call, people love the genre."
Getting old friends together also means there is no need to work on building onscreen chemistry. "Normally when you do a job you're meeting strangers and immediately have to act like you've known each other forever, so its forced. But with these fun family projects we've been doing with our One Tree Hill family, we have a shorthand and immediately pick up where we left off. I think the audience can see that," Burton told SheKnows.
Burton is not the only one who compares a Christmas movie shoot to summer camp. Her One Tree Hill co-star Tyler Hilton says the set of their most recent Lifetime movie had summer camp vibes. "It's funny because when we were younger, we were partying, but now we're chilling in the parking lot of Sonic or in somebody's room laughing until 3 a.m."
