The movie was filmed in Vancouver, the place where most Hallmark Christmas movies are usually filmed. It was produced under MPCA/Brad Krevoy Television with Stacey N. Harding as the director, who is originally from Vancouver itself. She is experienced in shooting Christmas movies for Hallmark, and her movies are all about exploring the connection between characters and the small moments where audiences can find themselves in the story.
‘A Lot Like Christmas’ is no less when it comes to achieving that vision. Besides that, Vancouver seems like the most feasible location for the production team to achieve the perfect Christmas vibe. The location has also been used for Hallmark productions titled ‘Mystery 101, Deadly History,’ Cut, Color and Murder,’ and A Christmas Sail’ where Stacey has also served as the director. Vancouver is generally famous for its high-rises cradled in the heart of spectacular scenery. Besides that, the city is also home to a diverse crowd of different nationalities and ethnicities which adds to its splendor.
The city is also preferred because it accommodates production companies on a relatively lesser budget as compared to other popular filming locations. A few other GAC Family movies filmed there include ‘Christmas Time is Here,’ ‘Christmas is You,’ and ‘A Christmas Miracle for Daisy,’ amongst others.
