Hilarie Burton is spreading holiday cheer with her “One Tree Hill” family.

The 36-year-old actress, who stars in Lifetime’s “The Christmas Contract,” premiering Thursday, enjoyed making movie magic with some of her former co-stars turned friends.

“Oh my God, we have more fun than should be allowed,” Burton told Page Six. “I’m trying to convince Lifetime to let us keep doing this. It’s essentially what ‘American Horror Story’ does, but with Christmas movies. It’s the same actors, just all switched around.”

In the movie, Burton plays Jolie, who isn’t thrilled about heading home to Louisiana for the holidays, where her ex will be with his new girlfriend. Instead of making the trek alone, Jolie brings her friend’s brother Jack (Robert Buckley) along for the ride. To solidify the arrangement, Jack’s sister, lawyer Naomi (Danneel Ackles), devises a Christmas contract for Jolie and Jack to sign.

“Jolie is a great, important character for me. I’ve done a number of these Christmas films and the one thing I kind of noticed was the female was always written as such a shrew. She was either an overworked mother, or a city girl too wrapped up in herself to see love when it was right in front of her. It was always kind of a bitter chick,” Burton explained.

“Jolie is doing her dream job, she’s a great friend and daughter, and she’s proud of where she’s from. It’s the male that has to figure it out. In this #MeToo era, in this movement of female empowerment, I think it’s important that we stop treating female characters like they’re the root of all evil,” she continued.

While Burton enjoyed playing Jolie, she also loved being back on set with her friends.

“The girls and I are all in a group text,” Burton said. “We talk about everything, whether it’s politics or new babies or new jobs, all of it. I love getting updates from them and checking in with them and getting support from them.

“And then the boys, I’ve said this before, if men ever want an example of how to be a good ally, the boys from ‘One Tree Hill’ have stood by us, and supported all of us and have been really good friends to us this whole last year,” she continued.

After female cast and crew members accused series creator Mark Schwahn of sexual misconduct in the fall of 2017, Chad Michael Murray, James Laferty, and Stephen Colletti, among others, came out in support of their former colleagues.

“I love the men that they’ve grown into and I love working with them,” Burton said.
