In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the film's stars announced a special Sabrina Easter Egg Rhea sneaked into the film for fans to discover.

“(Rhea) was wearing an item of clothing from Sabrina She thinks people will recognize it, it's a pretty distinctive piece of clothing, but I don't want to give it away,” says Broderick. “People have to figure it out for themselves.”

Broderick, who also stars in the Netflix series The merry gentlemen This November I indulged in nostalgia Sabrina is fun too. “I actually have a necklace from Aunt Zelda that I smuggled in once or twice,” she adds.

Meanwhile, Rhea remembers slipping back into Aunt Hilda's shoes for a moment during filming. “I once hinted at using magic – which I thought was a hilarious thing – just out of habit,” she reveals.

In Holiday conflictBroderick and Rhea play Barbara and Kath, feuding mothers who accidentally hooked their adult children onto a dating app. “Determined to end the romance, the two mothers bond, only to discover they have more in common than they thought,” the official synopsis reads. “As their children’s love blossoms, an unexpected friendship also develops between their meddling mothers.”

“Kath is like Hilda, completely free-spirited,” says Rhea, joking: “I always seem to play single women, I don’t know what that is.”

Broderick agreed, adding that the dynamic between their newest characters is “pretty similar because we're pretty damn well typecast.”
