All we want for Christmas is….Big Time Rush! And thank goodness the boys are happy to oblige by bringing us an hour-long movie special, Big Time Christmas, this Saturday (December 4 at 8pm) on Nickelodeon. The boys team up with some major guest stars to bring Christmas cheer to LA when their plans to return to Minnesota for the holiday are canceled. 

 

James, Kendall, Logan and Carlos gave us some exclusive scoop on what to expect from Saturday’s big episode! (And what it was like hanging out in their PJs with Snoop Dogg.)

 

Popstar!: Can you tell me about Big Time Christmas?

 

James: We were all very very excited about that. It’s a double episode, it’s a movie, and we have a few amazing guest stars. Including Fabio comes back, who plays Santa for a little bit.

 

Kendall: You can’t really have Big Time Rush without Fabio.

 

James: You really can’t.

 

Logan: He’s hilarious.

 

James: And Miranda Cosgrove, she’s in it as well, guest starring. And last but definitely not least is Snoop Dogg. So we have an amazing line-up of guest stars and some great music, too. We have an original Christmas song called “Beautiful Christmas” that we’re really proud of. And we cover a couple songs.

 

Popstar!: How was it working with Miranda?

 

James: It was great. She’s really a sweetheart and it was nice to have a different vibe on set. And with a mostly male staff and an entirely male crew it’s nice to have another girl on set in general.

 

Popstar!: And it must have been fun going to work in your pajamas.

 

Kendall: Yeah, of course. Chillin’ with Snoop Dogg in our pajamas was pretty awesome.

 

Popstar!: Was he a cool guy in person?

 

Kendall: You know what, he’s just one of the most humble, awesome, most hilarious guys that you’ll ever meet. He was really cool and he had such personal style, I know I remember him walking out on set and everybody was just taken aback because he’s just really a cool guy through-and-through.

 

Popstar!: What’s your favorite Christmas song of all time?

 

James: I like [singing] “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose.”

 

Logan: I don’t know, I like the more classic, you know like choirs do, Christmas songs. I think that’s pretty cool, pretty rock and roll.
