Jerzday has never been more festive.

“Jersey Shore” stars Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino convened for a holiday special titled “12 Days of Jerzmas,” airing Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.

The trio will spill all the tea as they reflect on their favorite memories from filming their spin-off, “Family Vacation,” over the past few years. 

In Page Six’s exclusive preview, fans learn more about Polizzi, 34, surprising Farley, 35, in a giant birthday cake last season — which marked the Messy Mawma founder’s grand return to the show after taking a hiatus. 

As fans may recall, Deena Cortese coordinated Polizzi’s entrance, but couldn’t push the cake as she was pregnant with son Cameron at the time. With Cortese’s husband, Chris Buckner, nowhere to be found, the girls had to ask an audio operator for help. 

Chatting with Polizzi and Sorrentino, 39, in the sneak peek, Farley — who memorably cried upon sight of her best friend — says, “That was the best birthday ever.”

Though she was thrilled to make Farley’s special day extra special, Polizzi admits that being trapped in a small space was scary. 

“First of all, I didn’t realize that I was claustrophobic until I got into that cake,” she says. “And I was like, ‘Oh, f—k.’ So, I needed drinks in there to calm my nerves because I was getting nervous.” 

Meanwhile, Sorentino notes that it was an “epic way” for Polizzi to come back to the reality series. 

To celebrate tonight’s “12 Days of Jerzmas” premiere, MTV has released the first-ever “Jersey Shore” holiday EP, “A Very Merry Jersey Shoremas.”
