CLASSIC SHOW

CLASSIC SHOW

I really enjoy watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown with my daughter, Harper. It seems all the Charlie Brown movies are classic for all of the holidays – and this is no exception. I love this movie.

SPOOKY BOOK

SPOOKY BOOK

I just love the illustrations in the Moonlight: The Halloween Cat children's book. And Harper loves seeing the cat throughout the story because she's a cat lover.

FUN COSTUME

FUN COSTUME

I remember so vividly my ladybug costume when I was a little girl – I loved it so much. It was definitely my personal favorite. This year, we plan on dressing up together as a family. I'm looking forward to this being our holiday tradition that we always remember and put in the books.

My sweet, amazing mom always made my costumes when I was a kid. I will soon be doing that as well to pass on the tradition to Harper.

For me, it's a tie between Tootsie Rolls and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. These were my two faves as a kid. Harper's favorite are red amp blue MampM's.

It's no surprise that the actress has upped the ante when it comes to celebrating the holidays since welcoming daughter Harper Renn in June 2011. And thanks to her built-in babysitters, Thiessen is also able to fit in fun projects, including starring as Misty the Wonderful Witch in an Oct. 5 Halloween-themed episode of Disney Jr.'s Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
