Jenna Ortega Previews Crazy 'Stuck At Christmas' Holiday Movie (Exclusive)

The Stuck in the Middle holiday movie — Stuck at Christmas — premieres NEXT WEEK!

JJJ sat down with star Jenna Ortega to chat about the movie where she opened up about her absolute favorite scenes, and what exactly the Iron Elf is.

“It’s really funny because we don’t actually know what it’s about,” Jenna confessed about the main event in the movie. “We’re going to call it an obstacle course for now.”

It’s no surprise at all that those were some of her favorite scenes to film though, even if she feels like one of the producers is out to get her with them.

“I think the producer on our show always puts Harley in these situations on purpose,” Jenna told us, laughing about it. “She told me the other day that I could be on one of those obstacle type of shows, because of all the stuff she has me do.”

She adds, “For the movie leading into season two at the water park, and there was an obstacle course there and for this one, it’s just crazier.”

After the movie was announced, fans started to draw comparisons between it and the Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas special — and Jenna‘s taking them as a compliment because she was one of the biggest GLC fans ever!

“I was so excited to do a Christmas movie with the show because the Good Luck Charlie one was filmed in Palm Springs, which is where I’m from,” she explained.

And once she knew the plot of the Stuck at Christmas movie, Jenna loved paying homage to the long-running series: “I was freaking out about it and we’re like GLC over here…For that movie, they had the whole family and we have an even bigger family so it was more chaotic and more crazy. It was just so much fun to film.”

Stuck at Christmas premieres Friday, December 8th @ 8PM ET/PT on Disney Channel.
