During the conversation, Zooey admitted that they haven’t seen the movie since they were a little too scared the first time.

“They haven’t watched it again, but my daughter expressed interest in watching it with her friends, but I don’t know where we’re at with that,” Zooey told People.

Zooey added she wouldn’t watch it again with them, saying: “I probably wouldn’t sit through it.”

Years ago, she said to Access that it was “a little scary” for them when they watched it for the first time, acknowledging that it’s a little weird, as the holiday film is not a scary movie.

However, the “suspense of Santa, Santa’s sleigh going down” was still a bit too much. Watch above!

She also revealed the actress she nearly lost her role to in Elf.
