Melissa Peterman is making her milestone 55th birthday extra special by giving back to fans in a way that’s connected to her personally.
The Hallmark star, beloved for playing Pamela in the holiday hit “Haul Out the Holly” and its sequels and for serving as the lead judge on the reality competition series “Finding Mr. Christmas,” celebrated her “double nickels” birthday with a joyful message filled with gratitude and a surprise for her followers inspired by her favorite perfume.
Peterman Reveals Her Signature Scent of 20 Years
“Woke up happy and grateful that I get to celebrate another year on earth!! It’s my double nickels birthday!!! #55 🎂” wrote Peterman in the caption of her July 1 Instagram post, which featured a video of her sending a message to fans.
“It’s my birthday today,” Peterman introduces the video, referring to her 55th as a “double nickels” birthday. “And you know what? I don’t wait for people to buy me presents, I usually like to buy myself a present on my birthday…”
Peterman goes on to talk about her favorite Kai fragrance, which is the original. She claims this is her “signature scent” that she has been wearing “for twenty years” ever since her husband first bought it for her on Valentine’s Day.
She also reveals in the video how she’s currently spending her special day. “I’m on a girls’ trip right now with my friends from college and right after college, and they’ve known me forever. And they can smell Kai, and they know that smells like Missy. That’s how long they’ve known me, they call me ‘Missy.'”
“So, happy birthday to me and presents for you,” Peterman says at the end of her video.
