>> You think of hallmark
Christmas movies, you think of
Danica.
And dolly parton.
>> It's blowing my mind.
>> That's cool and you looked
geniunely excited to meet her.
>> I was.
I've known her since I was a
little girl.
They give books to children all
over the world and I was invited
to be part of it two years ago
and how I got the idea for this
because of dolly parton and
hallmark asked me where do I
want my next Christmas movie to
be, I said dolly wood.
I met her in the imagination
I didn't know I was going to
meet dolly parton.
Let me tell you something, when
you are told you're about to
meet dolly parton.
I think I told you about it in
July, I think I was not wearing
heels and I was a mess.
>> Amazing.
>> Her album is one of the best
with Kenny Rogers, "I believe in
magic," you know what I'm
talking about.
>> She's the best.
And the movie "Knives" out.
>> How did you hear about it?
>> I said, what are you talking
about?
I went to see it and one of the
characters said I saw this movie
star, Danica, on hallmark and
talking about the mysteries I
do.
I couldn't believe it.
At the end, whodunit.
That hallmark movie, this is
what they were talking about.
>> The plot line.
>> A great movie.
I recommend it, it's so fun.
>> How many kids do you have
now?
>> Just one.
>> You're the one that keeps
having kids.
>> I'm jealous.
You have one good one.
>> Draco.
>> How did his name come about?
>> My ex-husband, his dad, had
the idea a long time ago, before
we even met.
>> Before Harry potter.
It was on one of his dates -- a
forward thing to say.
If I ever have a son, I like the
name draco.
>> What about the Harry potter
thing?
>> That will blow over.
>> And nine years later.
>> What does your son think
about it?
Does he think it's hysterical?
>> He thinks it's funny and
identifies with bad guys, likes
to play darth vader in "Star
wars," and comfortable like I am.
>> Like I wanted to be the bad
sandy in "Grease."
>> Sandy part B.
Math was always my worst subject.
When you started coming out I
need to start reading this.
I thought I was good, and then
the changed math.
>> And this age through age 16
and the last one, do not open
his mouth and it's common core
subtraction.
It's my 9th Mckellar math book,
you go there this month you can
find out how to do them.
When I was in middle school I
was afraid of math and I had a
teacher that changed my mind
about it and that was my
inspiration to help kids feel
good about math.
>> Is your son good at math?
>> You'd have a good tutor.
>> I love spreading that
message, especially to girls.
I did a hallmark movie called
"Campfire kiss."
You will see in "Christmas at
dollywood," you see a bookstore.
>> How do you top dolly wood for
your next hallmark movie?
>> The real north pole and
I will be live tweeting this
Sunday the 8th.
I cannot wait to show this.
It is so sweet.
I play a single mom an event
planner and go to dollywood to
do this smokey mountain
Christmas and I but heads with
Luke there.
And things start to fall apart
again and you can guess who
saves the day!
>> Don't want to spoil it.
>> Great to see you.
>> "Christmas at dollywood" airs
