Actress, writer, and rising NBC star Michele Weaver joins hosts Deborah Joy Winans Williams and MAJOR. for a warm, funny, and joy-filled conversation on Holiday AF. Known for her breakout roles in Love Is___ and her upcoming NBC family drama, Michele shines as she shares the unexpected path that shaped her career — from graduating without an agent to working as a makeup model, phone rep, and airbrush artist before landing her first roles.

Michele reflects on her creative journey, including directing The Glass Menagerie as a high school senior and later working behind the camera with Deborah on a short film. She opens up about her growing passion for storytelling, the excitement of starring in a new NBC series, and the joy of stepping into a character who feels like family.

The holiday conversation takes center stage as Michele reveals her lifelong obsession with eggnog — yes, even the dairy-free kind — and breaks down her family’s Secret-Santa-style name-draw tradition. She talks about growing up in snowy Denver, why she’s never had a Los Angeles Christmas, and the spiritual comfort she found as a child praying for snow so she’d “know everything was okay.”

This episode blends laughter, nostalgia, friendship, and holiday magic — a beautiful showcase of Michele’s heart and humor.
