With The Family Plan 2<\/a><\/em> gearing up to charm audiences, the cast is sharing a bit of festive spirit by revealing their favorite holiday films \u2014 along with how much they\u2019ve grown while working on the franchise.<\/p>\n The film\u2019s world premiere was attended by star and producer Mark Wahlberg<\/a>, as well as stars Michelle Monaghan, Kit Harington<\/a>, Zoe Colletti, Van Crosby, Reda Elazouar, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Peter and Theodore Lindsey, and director and executive producer Simon Cellan Jones.<\/p>\n At the premiere, star Michelle Monaghan lit up when asked to name her personal seasonal staples, Christmas or otherwise.<\/p>\n \u201cOh, my gosh, OK. Well, Christmas Vacation<\/em>, I have to put that one there,\u201d she said. \u201cSteel Magnolias<\/em>, I\u2019m just a sucker for that film. I love it so much. Dynamite women. And, oh my gosh, what\u2019s a\u2026 Cinema Paradiso<\/em> is just a beautiful Italian film, and it was one of the first foreign films that I ever watched. And I watched it with my husband \u2014 it was one of our first dates. It\u2019s very memorable to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Her co-star, Zoe Colletti, went for a mix of Halloween-meets-Christmas nostalgia and modern classics. \u201cOK, I have to put The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em> on there, because I love Halloween, I love Christmas. It\u2019s just so cute,\u201d she said. \u201cThe Grinch<\/em> has to go on there, for sure. The Jim Carrey Grinch<\/em>. And then I think Elf<\/em>. I\u2019d probably put Elf<\/em> on there.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked whether she\u2019s changed in real life as her character has developed across the films, Colletti was candid. \u201cYeah, I really feel like I have,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI feel like my character is pretty different to me in real life. But the amount of growth that she\u2019s had is definitely pretty similar to how much I\u2019ve grown. I was 20 when I filmed the first movie, and I\u2019m about to turn 24. It\u2019s been a long journey. Pretty similar to the amount of time Nina\u2019s had to adjust. And I feel like I look at the version of me that was my first day on set on the first film, and she definitely looks like a little baby.\u201d<\/p>\n Director Simon Cellan Jones took a classic approach to naming his holiday favorites. \u201cWell, the holy trinity I would say is Home Alone<\/em>, Die Hard<\/em>, and Mr. James Stewart [It\u2019s a Wonderful Life<\/em>].\u201d<\/p>\n Naturally, the question followed: which Home Alone<\/em> is the superior one? Simon didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cThat was the one that opened the game,\u201d he said. \u201cI love them both, or all of them, but that\u2019s my favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the full video below.
