In an interview with People published on November 28, Lefevre talked about the immediate, deep bond she felt with her “Holidazed” co-star Booth.

“In the first five minutes, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. We could have been sisters,'” she told People. She elaborated, saying that she feels like she and Booth were “possibly separated at birth,” and joked that they even “did the DNA test.”

Lefevre said she knew they’d be friends for life after Booth gave her the most unique warning about Christmas that she’s ever received.

“I remember when we realized very quickly that we were going to be friends for life, it was actually like, ‘We should get to know each other because we’re definitely going to be doing this for a lifetime,’” Lefevre told People. “And at one point, she said to me, very seriously — it got really eye contact-y — she was like, ‘I have to tell you. I take Christmas very seriously.’ I was like, ‘I don’t know what that means.’ That was so oddly specific.”

Booth stars as Lucy Woods in six episodes of “Holidazed,” and Lefevre stars as Sylvie Woods in six episodes. Booth previously starred in Hallmark’s “Christmas Magic,” “SnowComing,” “Swept Up By Christmas,” and “Rocky Mountain Christmas.”

As for Lefevre, she’s known among Hallmark fans for “The Secrets of Bella Vista” and “Moriah’s Lighthouse.”
