It's that time of year again. You know, when numerous holiday celebrations merge into one semi-unpronounceable word. That's right, Chrismukkah is upon us and the annual multi-denominational themed episode of The OC airs tonight at 9 on FOX.

For those of you dying for a little scoop on what Ryan, Seth, Summer, Taylor and the rest of the Newport Beach gang are up to this holiday season, fret not. I had a chance to speak with Autumn Reeser herself yesterday morning. She had plenty to talk about regarding tonight's new installment. So for those that are interested in getting a teeny spoilery surprise, read on.

However, if keeping your presents wrapped until Chrismukkah morning is your thing, then hold out. Check back here on Monday morning when I'll post the entire conversation I had with Reeser about The OC, things she does with her dog, her guest-role on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and what it's like to play a dead body on CSI.

Jonathan Toomey: OK, so have you been doing a lot of promotion for your new film coming out, Palo Alto?

Autumn Reeser: It's actually, I've been doing a lot of promoting for the new Chrismukkah episode.

JT: Ohh, the Chrismukkah episode? "The Chrismukk-Huh?" it's called I think, right?

AR: No, Chrismukkah.

JT: Wait. It's like a flashback of some sorts though, right?

AR: Well this one is like an alternate reality.

JT: An alternate reality, OK.

AR: Yeah, it's kind of like It's A Wonderful Life.

JT: OK, well I've got to ask you then...

AR: (interrupts) Oh, you're right! It is "The Chrismukk-huh!" I see what you're saying.

JT: That's my bad. I think I was just mispronouncing the episode title horribly wrong.

AR: Right! "The Chrismukk-HUH."

JT: (laughing) Uh huh, there ya go.

AR: (laughing) There's the actor's version.

JT: So what can you tell us about this Chrismukkah episode for our readers? I don't want you to give too much away, but what's in store?

AR: The Chrismukkah episode, well let's see. There's a couple of comas. As I said, there's an alternate reality. There's, um... oh, Summer in a wedding dress. Um, those are some of the juicy parts. Yeah, it's a really excellent episode.

JT: I know plenty of people are looking forward to it.

AR: Well, I hope they watch!
