Alena and Valentina Jonas are officially movie stars!
The two daughters of Kevin and Danielle Jonas make their feature film debut in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, out Nov. 14.
Joined by their mom on the movie’s red carpet on Monday, Nov. 10, in New York City, Alena, 11, and Valentina, 9, spoke to Entertainment Tonight about their time on the big screen and if they want to keep on acting in future movies.
When an ET reporter asked the sister duo if their feature film debut was “so fun,” both emphatically responded “yes!” While Alena admitted to feeling quite nervous, Valentina shared she was surprisingly at ease while filming.

“I usually would be [nervous], but I wasn’t,” Valentina said, beaming. “I was like, ‘Oh my God!'”
“She’s actually very shy, but then when the camera came out, I saw, like, a new person on her,” Danielle added of Valentina. About Alena, she shared, “Then she’s always loved the whole acting, kind of theater thing.”
After her role in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, Valentina added that — “yes!” — she wants to be in more movies someday.
The film features Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas as themselves, as they encounter a series of challenges as they try to travel home from London to New York to spend Christmas with their loved ones. The three brothers run into car trouble, attempt to board a private jet, hide behind royal guards and fend off a pack of wolves in the forest as they fight their way home to their families.
“One of the things that we’re really excited about, and that was so appealing to us about doing this project, … is that there’s a full album that’s coming along with the film that has some holiday music and some other music,” Nick told PEOPLE at JONASCON in March.
