Tia Mowry and Tamera Mowry-Housley haven’t worked together in over a decade — until now. “You [Tamera] have a Hallmark [series] coming out,” Mowry, 47, said to her twin sister while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, referring to the upcoming show Baked With Love: Holiday. “I have a Netflix movie [My Secret Santa] coming out, but we haven’t done one together. Oh my God, Tamera.” “We should do one,” Mowry-Housley replied. The Sister, Sister alums mused about possible storylines for the potential film before ultimately deciding that the movie should take place in Europe. “It should be somewhere in France [or] Italy,” Mowry dished. “Let’s do Italy!” Mowry-Housley responded, to which Mowry said, “And we both find love. Find love in Paris or in Europe.” The actresses’ potential holiday movie would follow their HomeGoods’ Deck the Everything Day campaign, the first project they’ve worked on together in over 10 years. Mowry told Us that reuniting with her twin sister after so many years of solo work was particularly heartwarming. “To get the opportunity to be with my sister on such a very fun, creative campaign that also aligns with who we are, has been such a great experience,” Mowry said. “This is our first time doing something together in over a decade,” Mowry-Housley added. “It’s very special,” Mowry gushed as Mowry-Housley agreed with her. “It is. It’s felt that way too,” the Haunted Harmony Mysteries star shared. Mowry and Mowry-Housley may be partnering for a shared holiday campaign, but they each have their own unique Christmas traditions, too. Decorating the tree, playing holiday music and Nutcracker decor — traditions that have been passed down from their mother — is a must-have for both sisters. Individually, Mowry established a tradition of travel and “taking the kids to explore things outside of their comfort zone.” She will be celebrating the holidays in The Bahamas this year with her son Cree, 14, and Cairo, 7, who she shares with ex-husband Cory Hardrict. “I love putting presents and gifts up under the tree. That’s how I grew up. But at the end of the day, do I remember what I got at 8 years old, 12 years old, 15 years old, 20 years old? Maybe not so much,” Mowry explained. “What I do remember are the memories and the experiences around the holidays. So, what I like to do is…travel during the holidays. It’s my gift to them [Cree and Cairo]. One year, we went to Thailand. This year, we are going to The Bahamas, which is where my sister and I’s roots are actually from.” Mowry-Housley plans to celebrate the holidays in Napa, California, where she lives with Adam Housley, her husband of 14 years, and their two children, Aden, 12, and Ariah, 10. The Twitches star will be hosting Christmas dinner (“We love to cook!”) and sending out Christmas cards, a holiday tradition that Mowry-Housley began when Aden was born. “I really love a good Christmas card,” Mowry-Housley gushed. “Our family gets together, we take pictures and we do the Christmas notes. We talk about the milestones that have happened in our children’s lives. Really cool things that are happening in our lives. We’ve been doing it for about 13 years now, and we got so much amazing feedback. It’s our one time to connect.” The twin sisters also have their own special Christmas styles, which lends itself perfectly for Deck the Everything Day. Mowry-Housley describes her style as more “traditional” with “traditional colors of Christmas,” “plaids” and “woodsy textures.” Mowry, meanwhile, takes a more “extra, winter whimsy” approach with “sparkle,” “icy elegance” and “frosted garlands.” Created by HomeGoods in 2023 to celebrate early holiday decorators everywhere, Deck the Everything Day is celebrated on November 1. This year, the celebration inspires shoppers to discover their inner HomeGoods Holiday Carol – a spirited alter ego that comes to life each holiday season.
