KW: What attracted you to the role in The Mistle-Tones?
- Tia: What attracted me to the role was definitely that it was a musical! I loved the idea that there was dancing and singing involved, and that it was a Christmas movie. I love all things Christmas so it wasn’t too hard for me to decide to do it!
KW: What was your favorite part of filming?
- Tia: The singing and dancing was my favorite part of filming the movie. They are both things I don’t get to do often so I had such a great time.
KW: How did you relate to your character?
- Tia: I relate to Holly in the sense that she’s a warm spirit and very kind and generous, but she’s also a go-getter and she doesn’t quit easily.

KW: What was it like being in a musical? Have you done anything like this before?

KW: Does your family have any special Christmas traditions?
- Tia: My family loves to get together and decorate the Christmas tree and sing Christmas carols.
