“I told my wife [Beverly Hills 90210 alum Jennie Garth] the only gift I want is to be able to be with my family,” Peter Facinelli recently told iVillage while filming Nurse Jackie (the Showtime drama starring Edie Falco) in New York. “I wrap up the second season today, and I head home tomorrow. I’m looking forward to a break and just spending some time with my family.”

It’s no surprise that the dad of three looks forward to a little downtime with his loved ones in their L.A. home. In addition to his role as Dr. Fitch Cooper on Nurse Jackie, Facinelli also plays vampire Carlisle Cullen in the blockbuster Twilight films. Anticipating his holiday break, the 36-year-old took a moment to chat about a beloved Christmas tradition, New Moon fan requests and why he’s in favor of a fifth Twilight movie.

The Twilight Saga has such a huge fan base. Has the experience been crazy so far?
I’m a fan of the books, too, so I understand their passion for the project and the movies. And I’m excited to be a part of the franchise and be able to have a say in how it’s made.

Are you constantly getting stopped on the street?
It’s helpful that in the movie I have blond hair and in real life I don’t. I’m able to get around a little easier than some of the others. That said, the fans know me by now and what I do look like, so I do get approached quite often.
