Rachel Skarsten Dishes on Those Epic Hallmark Cameos in ‘The Christmas Charade’

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Hallmark’s The Christmas Charade.]

Hallmark is getting meta with their Countdown to Christmas movies. In the opening moments of The Christmas Charade, you’re watching an entirely different movie with Hallmark stars Kristin Booth and Jefferson Brown. In a movie within a movie move, it turns out Whitney (Rachel Skarsten) is watching this caper from her couch. Skarsten spoke to Swooon about this fun double cameo moment.

“I didn’t know that Kristin Booth was going to be in it until I think I started filming it,” she said. “The funny thing is that whole cameo, Jefferson Brown is the other half of that cameo. Jefferson and I did Christmas Island a year before. I felt like not only was it so cool that I’d never met her and that she was in it, but that Jefferson was the other part of it. It was super trippy to be on set. They filmed it the second last day of shooting, but then to see Jefferson sitting there I was like, I feel like we’re back on Christmas Island.”
