November 4th 2024.
Exciting news, folks! In a rare crossover event, Halloween and Christmas are colliding in the form of a new holiday movie starring TV icons Caroline Rhea and Beth Broderick. You may remember them as the hilarious and mystical aunts Hilda and Zelda Spellman from the beloved 90s sitcom, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Alongside their co-stars Melissa Joan Hart, Nick Bakar, and Nate Richert, these two ladies became household names for their magical antics on screen.
But now, they're ditching their broomsticks for some snowflakes in Hallmark's latest film, Holiday Mismatch. In this heartwarming tale, Caroline plays the role of Kath, and she couldn't be more thrilled to reunite with her former on-screen partner. In fact, she took to Instagram to share the trailer with fans, captioning it with their character names, Kath and Barb. "Tune in tonight when Zelda and Hilda are reunited on the screen...We're meddling mothers who know how to stir up some love and laughter," she wrote.
Caroline also teased a special surprise for fans, mentioning a hidden Sabrina easter egg in the movie. And it seems fans were quick to spot it, with one lucky viewer even winning a prize for being the first to find it. The comments section was flooded with excitement and nostalgia, with one fan declaring that they'll be watching with their mom, knowing that "Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda will be reuniting in a Christmas movie!"
And it's not just the fans who are thrilled about this magical reunion. The Hallmark Instagram page also shared the news, with followers gushing over the return of these two beloved actresses. "Love seeing these two back together again!!! Takes me back to my Sabrina The Teenage Witch days!" wrote one fan, while another added, "Awesome reunion for these two!"
In Holiday Mismatch, Caroline and Beth play two mothers who couldn't be more different. Kath is carefree and spontaneous, while Barb is uptight and rigid. However, their worlds collide when they accidentally set up their adult children through a dating app. Determined to stop the romance, the two moms team up, only to discover that they have more in common than they thought. As their kids' love blossoms, so does a heartwarming friendship between the meddling mothers, bringing both families together for a truly festive Christmas.
For those of you who may not know, Caroline and Beth were part of the main cast of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which aired for seven seasons from 1996 to 2003. Their characters, Hilda and Zelda, were the aunts of young witch Sabrina Spellman, and they were always there to guide her through her magical and daily high school dramas.
In a recent interview with People Magazine, Caroline and Beth shared their excitement for this new project, noting that their roles felt very similar to their characters on Sabrina. "Kath is like Hilda, completely free-spirited," Caroline revealed. "I always seem to play single women, I don't know what that is." Beth added, "we are pretty darn well typecast...Caroline's an extravert, I'm an introvert." And it seems their on-screen chemistry is just as strong as ever, with Caroline recalling a funny moment from their time on Sabrina when she finally realized that Beth was a "total nerd."
We can't wait to see these two talented ladies back on our screens, spreading some holiday cheer and reminding us of the magic of friendship. So mark your calendars because Holiday Mismatch premiered on Hallmark yesterday, and it's definitely a movie you won't want to miss.
