Actress Christina Milian may 26 years old, but she can rattle off her childhood Christmas list as if her handwritten notes were still downstairs waiting for Santa. "I asked for a dog because we couldn't get one," she tells Rachael. "I wanted a walkman, a fishbowl, a house," Christina says. At the bottom of her list was actually a "p.s." from her sister who asked Santa to help Christina have a successful career.

Santa pulled through and Christina has since appeared in Be Cool and Love Don't Cost a Thing. She's now starring in the ABC Family holiday movie Snowglobe alongside Lorraine Bracco. "She's amazing. I'm a huge Sopranos fan and I love her from Goodfellas," Christina says. When she learned she would be acting with the star, Christina say she immediately began to beef up her own skills. "I have a little accent in the movie too so I did a lot of watching some of her movies because I was like, 'If she's going to play my mom I gotta have it going on.'"

As for her own Christmas celebration, she's looking forward to time with her family. "We'll probably be home. I have a new nephew so he's 8 months old," she says. "We're going to proabably all open up our presents in the morning and then cook up a storm right after that in the afternoon and eat and eat and eat and go to sleep."

And in the spirit of the season, she'll also be giving back to those in need by working with the charity Children Uniting Nations to help other girls. "It's being a big sister to foster children," she explains. "I just went through a whole training program and mentoring program and I'm going to get put together with my child really soon. I can't wait."
