Where Was Flipping for Christmas Filmed?
Yet another heartfelt rendition that encompasses the spirit of Christmas, ‘Flipping for Christmas,’ has been set against an equally scenic backdrop.

The filming was wrapped up within a few weeks and ended by late July. Given the setting and premise of the story, many wonder more about the filming locations.
Hamilton, Ontario
As one of the most sought-after locations for producers and directors, Ontario served as the ideal location for the creators to film ‘Flipping for Christmas.’ With its characteristics, structure, and ideal weather conditions, the site became an unquestionable backdrop for the movie’s shoot. The port city has a streak of buildings that emanates an antiquated essence that the Hallmark movie requires.
One of the key locations scene in the film is the Queen Anne Manor. Located at 254 Bay Street South, Hamilton, the mansion was previously Beverly Bronte Tinkew’s house, where she ran her speech and language pathology practice. As seen in the movie, the elegant structures of the past become an instrumental part of the story for Abigail and Bo.
