Brant Daugherty is making new holiday memories with his growing family.

The Pretty Little Liars alum’s latest Hallmark Christmas film, Trivia at St. Nick’s, was released Nov. 8 and he can’t wait to show it to wife Kimberly Daugherty and their children, sons Wilder, 3, and Aero, 10 months.

"One of the traditions has been watching Daddy's Christmas movie every year," Brant, who has starred in several Hallmark films over the past few years, told E! News this week. “So we've got that coming up Friday. Other than that, we're just gonna spend some time with the family. Have some work coming up and just try and balance it out as much as possible until the end of the year."

The actor—who also starred in Fifth Shades Freed, the final film in the Fifty Shades trilogy—said he is happy to have a body of acting work he is proud to share with his kids and make a part of their holiday traditions.

"It's gonna be a few years before I introduce them to Pretty Little Liars,” he said. “I'll probably never sit them in front of 50 Shades Freed. But we all gather around my in-laws, my kids, my wife, my mom, and my family, we all gather around and watch these Hallmark movies. I think there's something really special about that."

And speaking of PLL, Brant stars in Trivia at St. Nick’s opposite fellow show alum Tammin Sursock. The actor said it was a treat to work with his former costar again.

"We got to know each other even better than we got to know each other back on Pretty Little Liars," he said. “And it was such a pleasure to work with her and to see how far she's come in her life."

Tammin is also a working parent—she shares kids Phoenix, 11, and Lennon, 5, with husband Sean McEwen.

"She's a mother of two and I'm a father of two now and it was such a lovely reunion, and I hope we can do it again shortly," Brant said, "It would be lovely."

"I chat with some of the guys. Torrey Devitto is a friend of mine," he shared. "I know she's in the Hallmark world too. I would love to do something with her at some point."

Meanwhile, Brant is stoked for fans to watch Trivia at St. Nick’s. "You know this is a comedy and it's something a little bit different for me, this character,” said the star. “I'm just really excited to share it with everyone and it’s so fun to see a new side of me."
