The cast and crew transformed the city into a winter wonderland in the middle of summer to bring the story to life.

Burnaby, British Columbia

The movie makes the most of the city’s wintry landscape, showcasing snow-covered streets lined with twinkling lights. Production team used the house located at 7436 Fraser Park Drive for shooting purposes.
This beautiful suburban home served as the primary residence of the film’s main family. Both the interior and exterior of this bright yellow house were featured prominently throughout the movie.
Burnaby Village Museum
The museum was used to film some interior scenes set in the mysterious past of the Wicks house, located on the mistletoe lane. Burnaby Village Museum is a living history museum, located in a beautiful park setting.
It features over 30 restored buildings and exhibits from the late 19th and 20th centuries. You can also visit the place, it’s open for everyone.
The Christmas market and the city hall scene were taken in Downtown Burnaby. Other scenes featuring cozy homes dusted with snow were shot in nearby areas of the quiet suburban neighborhood of Fraser Park Drive.
The New Hollow town of New England was prepared entirely on the set and the private property located on the Fraser Park Drive.
You will find lots of historic homes in the quiet tree-lined street in Burnaby and those families bundled up in scarves and mittens only added more authenticity to the film. They evoke the warmth and wonder of Christmas.
Vancouver’s spectacular natural scenery also contributed to the magical holiday vibe. Although not explicitly featured on camera, the nearby mountains and Pacific coastline lent an appealing natural backdrop.
