Christmas Comes Twice: Where Was it Filmed?
The movie began filming in October 2020, and the crew adhered to the safety protocols during production due to the pandemic. Here are the specific details of the filming.
Vancouver, British Columbia
‘Christmas Comes Twice’ was filmed in different parts of Vancouver, which is one of the largest cities in British Columbia, Canada. For filming the last portions, the production moved to Whistler, which is a resort municipality in the north of Vancouver. The location has very cold weather and experiences snowfalls during the winter. Michael Xavier, one of the actors in the film, shared a picture from the set of ‘Christmas Comes Twice’ with Tamera Mowry-Housley in Vancouver on his Instagram profile!
Vancouver is a prime spot for filming and is called the Hollywood of the North, as several film production studios are situated in and around the city. The weather is also very suited for the shooting of Christmas-themed movies. The city has some great locations and spots that add character to it, including Grouse Mountain, Vancouver Aquarium, Granville Island, Stanley Park, Canada Place, and Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, among others. Zarrin Darnell-Martin, who plays Trish in the film, also took to Instagram to share with fans a picture from the set. Check it out below.
Vancouver is also listed very often among the list of the world’s best cities for livability and quality of life. Some major movies that were filmed in the city are ‘The Interview’, ‘Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters’, ‘Tomorrowland’, ‘X-Men: The Last Stand‘ and ‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’ among others.
