Mallory Jansen, seriously, what a whirlwind of a career. She’s an Aussie-Brit, straight outta Melbourne, but don’t box her in—she’s been bouncing from ballet dramedies to Marvel chaos like it’s no big deal. She went all-in on acting, training in New York at those fancy Stella Adler and T. Schreiber Studios, learning from folks who really know their stuff (think: accents, method, all the jazz). Back home, she didn’t waste any time—bagged a bunch of mini-series gigs, but it was playing Helena Christensen in “Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS” that got everyone talking. That’s when Australia really started paying attention. Then, bam, she hits Los Angeles running—lands recurring spots on Freeform’s “Young & Hungry” and “Baby Daddy.” Not bad, huh? But then she flips the script, starring as Madalena in ABC’s “Galavant,” which is this wild medieval musical comedy. She’s belting out songs written by Alan Menken—yeah, the Disney guy. Critics loved her as the snarky, diabolical queen. After “Galavant,” she jumps into ABC’s drama “Triangle” and then goes full Marvel, showing up as Madame Hydra (plus two other roles!) in “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” That’s a lot of range. She’s also popped up in “This Is Us,” “American Housewife,” and played a tough-as-nails Special Agent in “Shooter.” Basically, she’s everywhere, owning every scene, and honestly, it feels like she’s just getting started.
referencennSpending Christmas in different countries? Now, that’s the dream. Every place has its own spin on the holidays—like, you could be munching on KFC in Japan one year, then the next you’re in Germany, chugging down mulled wine at a Christmas market. The world just does Christmas in all these wild, creative ways. There’s something electric about seeing streets lit up in Paris or watching fireworks blast off in Rio. And the traditions—some sweet, some seriously strange—keep things interesting. You might find yourself singing carols in a language you don’t even understand, but the vibe’s still pure joy. Honestly, it’s like collecting tiny pieces of magic from every culture. Each country puts its own flavor into the season, and you get to taste it all. Forget doing the same thing every December—mixing it up is where the real adventure’s at.
