For several weeks now, television channels have been broadcasting new Christmas TV films every day starring iconic actors of the genre. Do you know which of them plays in the most fiction?
It's the big day! After weeks of waiting, it's finally time to open the presents. And to keep us waiting until the fateful moment, the television channels offered us new Christmas TV films every day to put us in the mood.
A rose-colored love story, an ugly Christmas sweater, artificial snow and over-decorated trees were out to the delight of fans of the genre.
As the period (almost) draws to a close, AlloCiné offers you a ranking of these actors who appear in the greatest number of Christmas TV films. And the first of the best will not necessarily be a surprise…
