Christmas with caramel coating stars The last survivorMolly McCook focuses on her character who goes to Peppermint Hollow, Washington to sell her mother’s childhood home as the family business suffers from bankruptcy. It’s a departure from the traditional Food Network programming, but fun! McCook’s movie dad is actually played by John McCook’s real father. The previous Good problem spoke star TV Insider for her father and it seems that the collaboration was a great success:
My dad playing my dad in the movies could not be more fun, I think just because we had never been able to work together like that before. But we also played different characters. We have a very, very special relationship in real life and we are so closely tied to the fact that we are both performers and he is my best friend, and although Molly and Fred in the movie are tied, their relationship is quite different . So it was really fun and silly for us and very special to look at each other and do what we love at the same time. But it was also a bit difficult to play these different characters who are not the people we have been together for 31 years. It will be something I will remember for the rest of my life.
Based on what Molly McCook had to say, the real dad playing her dad on screen was a big plus Christmas with caramel coating! The actress is tied to her father and everything went well. In addition, it seems that the dynamics on the father / daughter screen of the Food Network Christmas movie will be very different from the one played by McCook with Tim Allen for The last survivor.
