The countdown to PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive issue kicked off in the sweetest — and most festive — way possible with a little help from Hallmark.

On Oct. 3, The Groomsmen stars Jonathan Bennett, Tyler Hynes and B.J. Britt and the 10 contestants from the upcoming reality competition show, Finding Mr. Christmas, visited PEOPLE HQ in New York City for a panel discussion led by Executive Editor of TV and Events Breanne L. Heldman.

The Groomsmen trio chatted about their on-screen and real-life "bromance" and the Hallmark hunk hopefuls introduced themselves before they all performed the movie trilogy's signature dance. The celebrations were capped off with cookies designed to look like Bennett, Hynes and Britt.

Here, see the handsome cast of The Groomsmen and Finding Mr. Christmas at the festive event.

"B.J. [Britt] and I had done a movie together. We hit it off, just became buddies, and Tyler [Hynes] and I have become really good friends," Bennett said during the panel. "There's very few times, I'd say, in your career when you walk on set and it all just fits. Everything just clicks and you don't have to do anything. It's just automatically there. And those are your golden moments."

"I can't talk about Pete without talking about these two," Britt says of his character in The Groomsmen.

They aren't just yes friends."

"What I think is so powerful about this story, and I think Tyler was the one that championed it when we were developing it, is I was like, 'I want it to be three best friends. I want my character to be gay and I want my two other best friends to be straight,'" Bennett recalled of The Groomsmen. "Because in my real life, that's what my real-life group of friends looks like. And I think those stories aren't told that much. I don't see a lot of those stories being told."
