In She's All That, Prinze plays Zack, the cool guy who bets he can turn Cook's awkward Laney into prom queen. Back in the '90s and 2000s, Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachael Leigh Cook were the teenage dream - and their 1999 flick, She's All That, cemented them as young Hollywood's go-to stars.

Twenty-six years on, they are still good friends off screen and are poised for an on-screen reunion in The Christmas Affair. Set in New York, it follows Prinze's Gabe and Cook's Natalie, who fall for one another after their spouses are caught cheating right before Christmas. Given sports reporters Gabe and Natalie are household names, a media circus ensues.

Prinze, 49, who co-produced the festive film with the stars' former She's All That colleague Jennifer Gibgot, told People magazine it's "a romantic comedy but not related to She's All That", adding jokingly, “I think that ship has sailed.”

This isn't the actor's first time appearing in a holiday-themed movie. In 2022, he starred in Christmas with You
