Where was Holiday Unplugged filmed? Hallmark Filming Locations, Cast and Streaming

Sally loses years of precious family videos. Her solution? A screen-free Christmas.

That’s the heart of Hallmark’s Holiday Unplugged (2026), a warm holiday story about family, second chances and finding love when you least expect it.

But there’s another reason to watch closely. Those cozy Christmas streets and festive storefronts aren’t part of some fictional small town. The movie was filmed in and around Vancouver, British Columbia, with a few recognizable city landmarks and even a real Michaels store making an appearance.

So, where was Holiday Unplugged filmed? Let’s take a closer look at the real locations behind Hallmark’s latest Christmas movie.

Holiday Unplugged Filming Locations

Hallmark has not shared exact street addresses. The details below come from early reports and the film’s own visuals.

Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver is the heart of this movie. Reports say the key scenes were shot across the city and nearby areas. One source says the film was mostly shot in Vancouver.

It makes sense. Vancouver is a go-to city for holiday films. It has charming streets, a big crew base and a cozy mix of city and nature.

The shoot happened in late summer. That means the Christmas look was built by the crew. Think lights, garlands and decorated windows.

Downtown Vancouver

The downtown area is where the holiday magic was created. Reports say the area was redressed as a film set, with shops and storefronts decked out in Christmas decorations.

Why does this matter? It gives the film its small-town feel inside a big city. Sally’s world looks warm, walkable and festive.

This is a common Hallmark trick. A busy street becomes a cozy holiday main street.

A Michaels Store in the Vancouver Area

This is the most unusual location. The crew took over a real Michaels store in the Vancouver area to film key scenes.

It fits the story. Sally is an art teacher, and the movie is all about crafting and unplugging. It also ties into a bigger partnership. This is the first time Michaels has partnered with Hallmark on a holiday film.

The store’s exact address has not been confirmed.

Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge

Keep your eyes on the establishing shots. Viewers may spot local landmarks such as Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge.

These shots show the city before a scene begins. They tell you where you are in just a few seconds.

Stanley Park is Vancouver’s famous green space. The Lions Gate Bridge is its famous suspension bridge. Together they say “Vancouver” in one glance.

Gastown and the Vancouver Art Gallery

Two more landmarks may appear in the film. Gastown and the Vancouver Art Gallery are also named among the places you might spot.

The art gallery suits a story about an art teacher. Gastown adds old-city charm.

Fans of the movie can walk both areas in real life. Both are easy to reach in downtown Vancouver.

Other Popular Productions Filmed in Vancouver

Vancouver is a busy filming hub. Holiday Unplugged is in good company.

These titles are all listed as productions filmed on location in Vancouver.

What is Holiday Unplugged about?

Sally is a widowed art teacher. She has spent ten years honoring her late husband Jake while raising their kids, Keegan and Boo.

She finally feels ready for love. She joins a dating app. Her match is Damon, a former colleague who taught her kids’ kindergarten class.

Then disaster strikes. A server move wipes out Sally’s videos of Jake. To buy time, she declares a screen-free Christmas. Damon helps her hunt for the original tapes. Love grows along the way.

Holiday Unplugged Cast

Nikki DeLoach is known for roles in Awkward and The House Bunny. Juan Pablo Di Pace has credits that include Mamma Mia!, Dallas and Fuller House.

Behind the Scenes

Michaels is not just a set. It runs real events too. The retailer is hosting Hallmark crafting classes in its stores through December.

Final Thoughts

Holiday Unplugged proves a cozy Christmas does not need a tiny town. A redressed Vancouver does the job nicely.
