Hallmark Christmas movies are the perfect opportunity for actor reunions.

It’s all about finding the right movie to make it happen, and that can take a while.

Take Nikki DeLoach and Jonathan Bennett, for example.

It’s not the first time DeLoach has had to wait a while to work with a co-star either.

So there’s hope for DeLoach and Bennett yet.

“Oh, of course.

I would love to do a straight-up comedy with Jonathan.

That would be fun to do that with him,” DeLoach said.

“He’s so funny too.

Brennan Elliott reassured her, “It’ll happen.”

DeLoach responded with, “Hopefully, we’ll get it in our world.”

Is anyone else dying to see this movie now?

She added, “The second he came up and goes, ‘Hey, we got an offer.

The next day, he comes in and goes, ‘Did you read that script?

It is not a comedy.’

I was like, ‘What?'”

Of course, in this industry, they have more than a few mutual friends and career connections.

That’s a pretty common occurrence in the world of Hallmark.

“When it happened, I didn’t even read it.

[Casting director] Penny Perry said, ‘Nikki’s going to probably do it.

We have in an offer to her.’

“The Gift of Peace” premieres Saturday, December 10 at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT on Hallmark.
