“Technically you don’t really forget your lines,” she smiles before moving onto the next question: “Who is more likely to be early to set?”

“Me,” Tim declares until he sees the shocked look on Elizabeth’s face and switches his answer. “Or you,” he says with a side eye.
When she tries to protest, claiming that “mom always gets me there early,” theToy Storyalum stands his ground and notes, “I’m always here before makeup.”
“You do get there early,” Elizabeth concedes with a laugh, as Tim fires back with a shrug, “Kind of what I said.”
The budding young actress is then awarded most likely to call for the help of Jane Hajduk, the pair’s wife and mother. And theHome Improvementstar is named most likely to “steal sweet snacks from crafty.”
As far as who’s “more likely to wake up first on Christmas morning,” Tim confesses how he loves to feign ignorance and “pretend like I don’t care.”
“Ah, oh God, what day is it?” he says , acting out waking up from his sleep. “Oh look at that, it’s Christmas.”
“It’s magic, people,” he smiles.

While speaking to PEOPLE in October 2022, Tim opened up about the emotional reunion he had with his former costars when filming season 1.
“To be on set again with so many of the original cast (more to come eventually) was like seeing family again,” he said at the time. “It’s almost as if time had stood still other than my age. I look younger now in the Santa makeup than I do out of it.”
Ahead of filming, Tim also revealed that he gave his daughter some special advice about the importance of teamwork on set. “The advice I gave to my daughter Elizabeth is that the writers, producers and crew have the most important roles on a production,” he recalled. “Being an actor is a wonderful craft, but we are just a part of a teamwork experience.”
