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.

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.
