Where was Eight Gifts of Hanukkah filmed?
Hallmark’s Eight Gifts of Hanukkah was filmed entirely in Langley, British Columbia during October 2021. The municipality of Langley in Southern BC featured prominently in the holiday film, also seen by the photos shared by cast members like Jack Epstein, Inbar Lavi and Alice Rose shared the photos while filming was ongoing.
Most of them marked Langley as it was the major shooting location like in Nine Kittens of Christmas. The city has emerged a major filming place for various 2021 Hallmark films because of the tax credit program promoted by the local govt of Canada comes in handy for producers. The lower exchange rate deals become unavoidable and producers happily filmed the movie.
