“My favorite Christmas movie is ‘The Polar Express’. It’s pretty old but I remember watching it as a kid every single year, and I just felt the Christmas vibes when I watched it with my brothers and all my cousins. All the Christmas songs and all the insight on how Santa worked, I remember getting excited for Santa when I watched it.”
