He proceeds to talk to Willa in the B&B, where she is spending Christmas with her son.

A Bramble House Christmas Filming Locations
‘A Bramble House Christmas’ was shot over three weeks in July 2017. Although the film is set in the town of Bramble in Oregon, it was actually shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. Now, let’s dive into the specific filming details!
Metro Vancouver, British Columbia
The movie was predominantly filmed in several locations in the Metro Vancouver Regional District. The spirit of Christmas actualizes within a Victorian-era Bramble House and around the fictional town of Bramble, Oregon. The beautiful scenes in the movie were shot in and around Vancouver over multiple localities. The private residences near Bonson Road and 117a Avenue in the city of Pitt Meadows also served as one of the filming sites. Interestingly, it is also said that the house used in Bonson Road in Pitt Meadows also features in Hallmark’s ‘All for Love.’

The production crew also shot a significant portion of the film in the city of Maple Ridge, nestled between the Fraser River and the Golden Ears in the northeastern section of Greater Vancouver. In Maple Ridge, Lougheed Highway, 105th Avenue, 223rd Street, Memorial Peace Park, 224th Street, Golden Ears Cheesecrafters on 128th Avenue, and a few other locations doubled up as shooting sites for the Hallmark film. A few scenes were also shot at a property located at 8419 224 Street in Langley City.
Talking about the filming process, Autumn Reeser (Willa) told Starry Mag, “We shot on this horse farm and it was really quaint. We had a lot of fake snow to make it look as Christmas as possible. I liked it because I didn’t have to be as cold as I usually am.” British Columbia is frequently used in Hallmark movies. The shooting usually takes place in summer, despite most of them being Christmas movies. The cast and crew put in maximal effort to tap into the wintry and magical vibe Christmas usually emanates because of the fact that these movies are produced way ahead of the holiday season.
