Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas lineup keeps the festive magic alive with A Christmas Angel Match, a heartwarming romantic comedy directed by Christie Will Wolf.
Starring Meghan Ory and Benjamin Ayres as Monica and Michael, the movie follows two angels with completely different personalities. Monica is a rule-following perfectionist, while Michael is spontaneous, playful, and — as it turns out — a bit of a romantic himself.
Their mission? Help Daisy and Patrick fall in love before Christmas. But as they flutter through snowy towns and sparkling lights, the angels find themselves drawn to each other in ways that weren’t part of Heaven’s plan.
A Christmas Angel Match Filming Locations
Hallmark’s A Christmas Angel Match was filmed entirely in Ontario, Canada, with most scenes shot in Ottawa and Mississippi Mills. Principal photography began in May 2025 and wrapped up later that month — perfectly timed for Hallmark’s 2025 holiday movie season.
Let’s take a closer look at the beautiful Canadian spots that brought this celestial love story to life.
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Most of the shooting of A Christmas Angel Match was done in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada. Production team made use of Ottawa’s charming winter setting and cozy neighborhoods — to create a perfect Christmas atmosphere.
Viewers can also spot some well-known Ottawa landmarks in the background, including Rideau Hall, the Fairmont Château Laurier, and the National Gallery of Canada. Even the Rideau Canal, a winter icon often turned into the world’s largest skating rink, makes a brief appearance in a few establishing shots.
With its European-inspired architecture and festive ambiance, Ottawa is a favorite filming location for many Hallmark productions (Mistletoe Murders, Unwrapping Christmas) — and here, it doubles beautifully as the backdrop for heavenly missions, Christmas miracles, and plenty of snow-covered romance for the Hallmark film, A Christmas Angel Match.
Mississippi Mills, Ontario, Canada
Just a short drive from Ottawa, the production team headed to Mississippi Mills, specifically to the beloved Cedar Hill Christmas Tree Farm (951 8th Concession South, Pakenham). This picturesque location added a genuine holiday sparkle to several key scenes.
Known as one of the region’s top winter attractions, Cedar Hill Christmas Tree Farm features open snowy fields, glowing campfires, and a charming gift shop — all of which appear in the movie. Its rustic beauty and family-friendly atmosphere made it the perfect spot for the angels’ earthly adventures.
The farm isn’t new to Hallmark fans either. It’s been featured in several previous productions, including Christmas Scavenger Hunt, A Rooftop Christmas Tree, and A Cheerful Christmas. Clearly, it’s become a go-to filming destination for movies that want to capture that warm, small-town Christmas spirit.
The Cast of A Christmas Angel Match
Meghan Ory leads the film as Monica, a dedicated angel who loves her job done by the book — until her heart starts rewriting the rules. Ory is no stranger to Hallmark audiences, best known for her roles in Chesapeake Shores, Debbie Macomber’s Dashing Through the Snow, and Believe in Christmas. Ory also served as executive producer on the film—her third collaboration with director Christie Will Wolf.
Benjamin Ayres stars opposite her as Michael, the fun-loving and free-spirited angel who prefers dance breaks and snowball fights over paperwork. Ayres has appeared in Hallmark favorites like Color My World with Love, Miracle in Bethlehem, and The Santa Class.
Together, they bring to life a story that’s filled with warmth, humor, and holiday magic.

Behind The Scenes:
Director Christie Will Wolf shared her joy about working with Meghan Ory for the third time, writing on social media:
“We speak in shorthand, consistently have the same thought, and spin ideas like records — nonstop and always in rhythm. Making Christmas (and doing it fantastically!) well, it’s simply fun. Love ya Megs! And I can’t wait for the world to see what we made.”
Wolf also gave fans a peek behind the camera when she shared a short BTS clip on social media, showing her doing makeup touch-ups on set. She captioned the post with pure excitement.
Actress Amanda Jordan, who plays Mirabelle in the movie, also treated fans to some festive behind-the-scenes photos featuring herself and a sweet puppy, captioned:
“Something special is in the air. ✨ Love, puppies, and a touch of Christmas magic. A Christmas Angel Match is coming your way this Sunday on Hallmark!”

What is A Christmas Angel Match about?
A Christmas Angel Match follows Monica (Meghan Ory) and Michael (Benjamin Ayres), two Christmas Angels with completely opposite personalities who are tasked with bringing destined soulmates together during the most magical season of all.
Usually, angels like to fly solo, but things take a twist when their department is at risk of being downsized. To shake things up, Monica and Michael are stuck as a team.
The partnership proves challenging from the start as Monica is a traditionalist who follows every command from above and prefers to work independently, while Michael is the fun-loving type who enjoys the festive vibe with hot chocolate, snowball fights, and dancing. Their totally opposite approaches lead to some hilarious clashes as they try to work things out.
As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a little spark flying between the two angels themselves! While they are focused on bringing Daisy and Patrick together, they can’t help but get closer, which complicates their mission even more.
With Christmas Eve fast approaching, Monica and Michael start to worry that their differences might keep them from finishing their assignment on time. Just when it seems like they’re out of options, a twist of fate shakes things up, leading to a Christmas connection that surprises everyone — even the angels!
