Selena Gomez can still see through Jennifer Stone’s funky festive hat.
Indeed, the Rare Beauty founder used her magical powers to visit her Wizards of Waverly Place costar ahead of Christmas, and their outfits were a cozy nod to the season.
In her Dec. 22 Instagram Stories, Selena, 33, shared a sweet photo of her and Jennifer, 32, wearing matching Santa Claus hats, writing, “Love you Jen.”
And true to their friendship, her costar reposted the picture on her own Stories and replied, “Love you right back.”
But that wasn’t the end of their reunion, as Selena also posted a few throwback photos of the duo—who played as friends Alex Russo and Harper Finkle in the Disney series—spending time together on set. In one shot, the “Calm Down” singer wore curlers in her hair while Jennifer posed in her character’s maximalist style. In another, the two laughed as they relaxed between scenes.
This isn’t the first time the close friends have spent time together this year. In fact, Jennifer and her Wizards of Waverly Place castmate David DeLuise were one of many celebrities who attended Selena’s wedding to Benny Blanco in September. Then, a month earlier, the two met up to watch a re-run of their iconic show while eating lunch.
Though Selena has created some mystical memories with her onscreen tribe, it seems she couldn’t cast a spell to save her character in the show’s reboot, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. In the second season finale, which premiered on Oct. 8, Alex’s fate was left up in the air after she’s knocked into a dark portal with no way out.
But despite the tense cliffhanger, Selena’s costar and onscreen brother David Henrie teased that her arc isn’t officially over.
“Just so you know, Alex Russo is tougher than you think—and there’s a lot more to come,” David wrote on X shortly after the finale aired. “You’re asking all the right questions. Stay tuned, #WizardsBeyond has got some magical surprises up our sleeves.”
Nonetheless, the “Same Old Love” star—who produced the Disney+ revival alongside David—noted that it’s been “really fun” reimagining her character’s powers.
“It’s honestly been nostalgic for me,” she told Deadline in October. “It’s honestly been a wonderful experience. It’s so fun to see us pass the baton to a new generation.”
