We’ve got you covered!

My Sweet Holiday Filming Locations

‘My Sweet Holiday’ was filmed in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, specifically in Westwood (Kansas) and Kansas City (Missouri). The movie was filmed in June 2020, amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. An elaborate amount of set design work went into filming the Christmas-themed movie in summer. Artificial snow in all its forms was required on the set, be it the snow machine or the cotton-like props to cover the curbs. The cast and crew members also helped to “snow” things up. Here are the details of the filming locations!

Westwood, Kansas

If you wish to visit the adorable chocolate store in the film, you would be delighted to know that Annedore’s Fine Chocolates actually exists and is located at 5000 State Line Road, Westwood Hills in Westwood. Check out the Twitter post from a resident who corroborates the fact. However, we would like to reiterate the fact that the film is from Lifetime.

Kansas City, Missouri

Sandra L. Martin has directed and written the film, while Isaac Alongi is responsible for the cinematography. Martin and Alongi are a real-life couple who are also from Kansas City, making it easier for them to approach the locals while shooting this film. Together they have made at least five other movies in the city.

You may also recognize the Country Club Plaza in the film. The lit-up Plaza footage with snow falling was actually taken in the winter of 2019 and was incorporated in the movie. For ‘My Sweet Holiday,’ on most days, filming would begin after it started getting dark to avoid the green and summery landscape. This also helped bring attention to the light decorations.

The lobby of the Muehlebach Hotel also served as one of the locations for filming. The historic hotel is located at 200 W 12th Street in downtown Kansas City. Although the hotel is mostly used for events and weddings, it has hosted several illustrious guests over the years, including Roy O. Disney, Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles.

My Sweet Holiday Cast
