Disney’s holiday season arrives with a sparkling new musical comedy, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Jessica Yu (known for her work across TV dramas and documentaries) and written by hit screenwriters Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger (the duo behind Love, Simon and This Is Us).
Starring Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, and Chloe Bennet, this family-filled Christmas adventure follows the brothers playing heightened versions of themselves as they try to get home in time for the holidays. And yes, it’s packed with music, magic, holiday nostalgia, and Jonas-level chaos.
Where Was A Very Jonas Christmas Movie Filmed?
A Very Jonas Christmas Movie was filmed across New York City (USA), London (UK), and Toronto (Canada), with production taking place from January 13, 2025 to February 21, 2025. London appears in the tour-opening scenes, Toronto served as the main production base for interiors and comedic sequences, and New York provides the final holiday reunion setting.
New York City, New York, US
Several scenes were filmed in New York, where the story ultimately brings the brothers home. New York’s familiar streets, winter décor, and busy holiday atmosphere give the movie its final emotional touch – especially the reunion scene featuring the entire Jonas family.
London, England, UK
London plays a major role in the film’s opening, where the brothers finish their Unbreakable Bond Tour. The movie uses real London streets, concert-style backdrops, and classic European winter visuals to set the tone for the chaos that follows – thanks to a Santa-lookalike (played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson) who may or may not use magic to make their journey “accidentally impossible.”
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Most of the film was shot in Toronto, where the team handled the bulk of production, musical setups, and some of the larger comedic stunts. According to Hollywood North Buzz, the project, under the working title Get Us Home filmed from: January 13, 2025 – February 21, 2025.
Toronto also doubled as parts of London, especially for controlled shoots. One of the main locations used for this was Casa Loma, the city’s historic castle. Its grand architecture made it a perfect stand-in for London-style exterior shots, giving the film a seamless European look without leaving Canada.
The city’s filmmaking infrastructure allowed the production team to handle large-scale musical numbers and cameo-packed scenes. Some of the latest holiday films that were shot in Toronto includes:
Behind the Scenes
Aptaker and Berger developed the film while simultaneously working with the brothers on Camp Rock 3. During conversations about the revival, the old idea of a Jonas Christmas movie resurfaced – 15 years after the brothers first pitched it to Disney.
The writers spent months interviewing the Jonas Brothers during their travels, studying their real dynamics to build characters that felt familiar but funnier.
Filming the final family scene of A Very Jonas Christmas felt like celebrating Christmas for real – except, according to Joe, it was “incredibly awkward” because the very first shot he filmed was a kissing scene with Chloe Bennet… in front of his entire real family.
What Is A Very Jonas Christmas Movie About?
The movie follows Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas as they wrap up their tour in London – just 48 hours before Christmas. All they want is to head home to New York and spend the holidays with their families.
But fate (or Santa?) has other plans.
When the brothers accidentally run into Santa – or a mysterious man who looks exactly like Santa, played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson—a bit of Christmas magic sends their travel plans into a spiral. The brothers become stranded in Europe and can’t get home unless they rekindle their bond.
Amid all the madness, Joe reconnects with Chloe Bennet, playing a family friend and sparks fly fast. At its heart, the story explores family love, forgiveness, and the real-life Jonas dynamic that fans have watched evolve for nearly two decades.
And yes, the film is a musical, featuring seven original songs, including a Kenny G duet.
