Virgin River star Alexandra Breckenridge is embracing the magic of the holidays in a deeply personal way. While promoting her Netflix film My Secret Santa, the actress revealed a Christmas tradition she’s carried from her own childhood into her life as a mom.
Every Christmas Eve, Alexandra lets her children — Billie and Jack — open one carefully chosen gift, a ritual her mother once shared with her. Now, her kids try the same tactic she did growing up: convincing their parents to bend the rules.
This year’s holiday magic doesn’t stop there. Alexandra and her husband are surprising their kids with a Disney World trip, while Santa and grandparents handle the rest. For the actress, creating that sense of wonder is what the season is all about — and the joy, she says, is unmatched.
