Vancouver, British Columbia
The majority of ‘A Christmas Spark’ was filmed in the port city of Vancouver, at different sites across the city. Sometimes known as Hollywood North, the city is a performing arts center; thus, it is understandably advantageous for movies and TV production. In addition, Vancouver’s terrain is so stunning that one may discover stunning mountains, water features, woods, and big skyscrapers near one another.
The city’s characteristics create the tone for various situations in the Lifetime production and reflect the feelings of the characters. The warm tone of the film is further enhanced by the fact that Vancouver experiences pleasant weather for most of the year. The port city is also one of the most studio-friendly sites in the business because of the tax breaks provided by the government for filming. Apart from ‘A Christmas Spark,’ the city has served as a pivotal production location for several movies and TV shows like ‘Thor: Love and Thunder,’ ‘Man of Steel, ‘See,’ and ‘The Flash.’
