In an exclusive interview with JustJared.com, we asked Robert and his Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! co-star Kimberley Sustad about their yearly holiday traditions.
“We have a funny Thanksgiving one, which is that we celebrate a week early,” Robert said. “And that’s because our first Thanksgiving after our son was born, and we were getting zero sleep, we genuinely mistook which week Thanksgiving was and we did our whole Thanksgiving dinner and then realized the day of that we were a whole week early. So we have now just kept the tradition that every year we celebrate the Thursday before Thanksgiving.”
Kimberley responded, “Oh, that’s cute!”
Kimberley opened up about how she loves to do Elf on the Shelf with her kids, getting creative with it every morning for when they wake up.
Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! airs on Hallmark Channel TONIGHT (October 25) at 8/7c and streams next day on Hallmark+.
Here’s the full synopsis: “Weatherman Ted Cooper (Buckley) loves Christmas, but the past three have been terrible. This year, Ted has made up his mind that things will be different – this will be the Christmas things turn around for him. But Ted’s relentless optimism is about to be put to the test as he is faced with a litany of injuries and obstacles when he travels back to his hometown of Lackawanna, NY for the holidays. Within hours of arriving at his sister Kate’s house, he finds himself making a trip to Urgent Care after falling off a ladder while hanging decorations. While there, he runs into Ruth Mittens, his former high school science teacher who was always his cheerleader. He also reconnects with the charming Hope Miller (Sustad), except now she’s Dr. Hope Miller, with whom he went to high school and quietly crushed on from afar. Ted is optimistic that this budding romance is the beginning of his Christmas comeback, but his looming holiday bad luck still has a few curveballs in store for him. Luckily for Ted, he won’t have to face them alone – he’ll have the support of Kate, Ruth, and Hope to help him overcome the challenges thrown his way and finally enjoy a well-earned merry Christmas.”
Kimberley and Robert also opened up to us about their high school experiences!
