The cast members then dished on their favorite Christmas films. Some of Dockery's favorites include Home Alone, Die Hard and The Muppet Christmas Carol. The actors mentioned a number of other movies, including It's a Wonderful Life, Elf and Love Actually.

As for how the fifth season of the British drama will begin, Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith) mentioned that her character is going to face some difficulties with Mary after having a child in secret and losing Michael Gregson.
"Mary obviously doesn't know anything that's gone on. She's sort of a bit confused as to why she won't let Gregson go and get on with life...she doesn't realize that they were deeply in love and Edith had his child and had to give it away," Carmichael told Access Hollywood. "It's incredibly painful. It makes those moments when Mary is awful to Edith that much worse."
Downton Abbey Season 5 begins in the United States on Sunday, January 4 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS.
