Shona McGarty wishes she could spend Christmas Day (25.12.15) with her 'EastEnders' co-stars.
The 24-year-old actress - who plays Whitney Dean - admits her castmates are like "family" to her and she likes to spend as much time as possible with them.
She said: "There's so many exciting people coming back to the show and joining the cast.
"It's a really lovely place to work at the moment, everyone there is like family to me. If I could spend Christmas Day with the 'EastEnders' cast, I would."
Though the cast all get on well, Shona admits they don't get many opportunities to socialise together.
She said: "We try to [go out together] but our schedules are so hectic that it makes it hard.
"Some weeks we start work at seven in the morning, so there's not much room for hangovers or feeling tired."
The actress enjoyed filming a special dance routine for Children in Need last month because she got to work with her co-star Richard Blackwood for the first time.
She said: "I loved it so much I was turning up for rehearsals even when I wasn't supposed to.
"I was partnered with Richard Blackwood, which was so nice as we haven't filmed any scenes together yet."

EastEnders' Charlie Slater is set to die from a heart attack. The loveable cabbie - portrayed by Derek Martin - is set to return to Albert Square in the New Year to patch up his relationship with his daughter Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) but little does ...

Olly Murs is looking forward to scoffing down calorific treats and hefty roast dinners this festive season.
The 'X Factor' host, 31, was forced to follow a low-carb diet while he was fronting the ITV singing show this winter, but he's thrilled he can finally relax his regime over the next few weeks and demolish Christmas puddings and chocolate.
He explained: "I'm looking forward to seeing how much I can eat and how long I can sleep for over Christmas."
But, despite his determination to polish off a tray of roast potatoes, the handsome singer is adamant he won't allow himself to pile on too many pounds as he believes his career is more successful when he stays in shape.
He said: "I sleep eight hours a day and get one hour training a day. Being on TV, a singer and artist it's important. I look at my 'Up' video I did with Demi Lovato last year and I was quite big and chunky. I held it well but in this job you want to keep the fans interested in you and find you attractive."
And Olly will certainly have time to focus on himself as he recently split from his girlfriend Francesca Thomas.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's the first time I've been single over the festive period for three years. To get through the break-up I've had to throw myself into work."

Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne are eating out on Christmas Day - but taking their own food with them.
The couple - who have nine-month-old daughter Ella together - are going to a restaurant in Kent with 20 members of their families so they don't have to cater, but because the eatery's menu doesn't include Yorkshire puddings on the festive roast, they'll be providing them themselves.
Jacqueline said: "There's going to be about 20 of us, which is too many people to cook for so eating out seemed like the best option.
"I'm really looking forward to it. The only problem is that the restaurant doesn't provide Yorkshire puddings, so my mum and Daniel's mum are making their own and bringing them with them."
And though the couple - who recently got engaged - are looking forward to a calm Christmas morning, they are expecting things to get wilder as the day goes on.
Dan told OK! magazine: "We'll spend the morning just the three of us opening presents together, then go and see everyone.
"Knowing Jacqueline's family, the night will end in a karaoke session back at someone's house."

James 'Arg' Argent's perfect Christmas meal needs the "right" gravy.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star enjoys the festive season and particularly enjoys tucking into a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings on December 25.
Discussing his favourite things about the Christmas period, he said: "Presents has got to be one of my favourites.
"Food has got to be another one. Christmas dinners, I love a roast dinner anyway so a nice good roast dinner. As long as the gravy is right and the stuffing and all that and being with your family and friends."
The 27-year-old star will be doing a lot of travelling to see all his friends and family on the big day, and is looking forward to the excitement that will be awash in girlfriend Lydia Bright's home on Christmas morning.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I think I'll probably be back and forth from Lydia's and my mum and dad's as well.
"Lydia has got loads of foster brothers and sisters so it's nice to wake up with them and give them loads of presents."

Lydia Bright and her mother Debbie Douglas have become the government's new Fostering Ambassadors.
The 'Only Way is Essex' stars, who have helped over 250 vulnerable children over the course of 20 years, have been chosen by the Department of Education to help encourage more people from different backgrounds to become carers.
Debbie, 54, said: "It is an honour to be asked to become a Fostering Ambassador, and I can't wait to get started."
The frizzy-haired matriarch, who has four biological children of her own including Lydia, was first inspired to foster in 1993 after she met a foster mum in a pizza parlour.
Since then, Debbie has helped hundreds of children, who have come to her with heart breaking stories of alcohol or drug use, neglect, or abuse.
She added: "I'm looking forward to working with the Department for Education to encourage more people to think about fostering children. I have such an incredible family, with so many children and young people - It hasn't always been easy, but I wouldn't change it for the world. It's big and it's a lot of fun, especially this time of year."
Lydia and Debbie have jumped on board the scheme alongside current ambassador Lorraine Pascale, who began in the role a year ago, and can't wait to get going.
Lydia, 25, explained: "I'm so honoured to be asked to be a Fostering Ambassador alongside my Mum.
"Fostering has had such a huge impact on my life - I'd love for others to experience that. Growing up was like being on a constant school trip, bunking up, sharing things, and just being part of a huge fun family. I'm really proud of my Mum; she's my hero, and our extended family is now so big - I can't imagine not having all these siblings around."

Sarah Harding has joined the line-up for 'The Jump.'
The former Girls Aloud singer, 34, is the latest name tipped to hit the Austrian slopes next year as she tries her hand at various winter sports - including skeleton, bobsleigh, speed skating and giant slalom - as part in the Channel 4 show, hosted by Davina McCall, according to The Sun newspaper.
Rumours Sarah is taking part in the popular ski programme come just a few months after she was slammed with criticism following her acting flop on 'Coronation Street.'
However, the blonde beauty should be at an advantage because this isn't the first time she's taken part in a reality TV show as she also starred in 'Tumble' last year.
But if Sarah wants to get through to the final this time, she'll have to fight off stiff competition from the likes of Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington and gymnast Beth Tweddle.
Other names dropped in relation to the forthcoming show, which is in its third series, include former Westlife singer Brian McFadden and Olympic champion Linford Christie.
A source said recently: "Linford's a brilliant signing. He's incredibly competitive and has an unbelievable will to win. "But being a brilliant athlete doesn't necessarily mean he'll be great on the slopes as it's a completely different discipline. 'The Jump' has had sportsmen in the past and they haven't always done that well."
Meanwhile, Channel 4 is yet to confirm any names for the new series but has announced it will return to screens with a new format that will see the stars living in a house together.

Bruno Tonioli is taking a month-long holiday to recuperate from 'Strictly Come Dancing.'
The show judge, who has featured on the panel for 13 years, is preparing to jet off for a four-week break following the wrap of series 13 of the popular BBC One show.
He explained: "It takes a lot out of you. It started in September so by now, I'm always, 'Oh my God' I can't believe I did it. I feel like I have run a marathon. But they're so good, you know - you need that energy, you need to give back to the dancers and the public. It's all good."
And it's not just the cameras the cheeky Italian is escaping as he's also enjoying the time away from his fellow judges Len Goodman, Darcey Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood following three months sitting side-by-side every weekend.
Asked if he needs a break from the other judges, he said: "Of course you do. We all have other things to do too but we all get on very very well - there's nothing untoward going on there. We love and respect each other. We all have our different lives, we're not peas in a pod."
However, Bruno, 60, hopes all four of them will be signed up to return for the next series in September 2016 because he thoroughly enjoys working with them all.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I can't tell you any things that I don't know. I'm not under contract so you have to cross that bridge when you come to it."

This year's 'X Factor' winner Louisa Johnson is reportedly planning to rush-release her debut album.
The 17-year-old singer, who was crowned the winner of the the twelfth series two weeks ago, is keen to drop her LP - featuring 10 tracks - in February via Simon Cowell's record label Syco, according to the Daily Star newspaper.
However, the blonde beauty - who was the favourite to win from the beginning - may be riddled with nerves ahead of the release following the flop of her winner's single 'Forever Young' - a rendition of the Bob Dylan hit - in the charts.
However, despite failing to climb further than ninth position in the chart, Simon, 56, reportedly blames himself for the disastrous start to Louisa's singing career as he believes he should have chosen a more uptempo song for her.
A source said recently: "It's an embarrassing result for Syco. Even though Louisa had two fewer days of sales, they expected the single to fare much better.
"On reflection, they feel picking a more uptempo, anthemic song would have been a better idea.
"But they are fully behind Louisa and insist the poor chart position was down to the song, not the performer."
And, although she's yet to release her first album, Louisa is already looking to the future as she plans to have a handful of LPs under her belt within the next five years.
