As the holiday season approaches, a small town in British Columbia has become a favorite destination for film crews to produce their annual dose of festive cheer. The Village of Steveston, located just outside of Vancouver, has transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with snow-covered streets and twinkling lights, all courtesy of Hallmark movie production company.

Locals have grown accustomed to the sudden appearance of elaborate Christmas decorations and sets popping up in July, which may seem early for some. However, it's all part of the magic that goes into creating these feel-good holiday movies. According to Elise Raye, a barista who works in the area, 'It's so cool! Like, there is nothing one minute and then you look and everything is set up... It's fun to watch, you get a sneak peak of behind the scenes.'

Rocanini Coffe Roasters, located on Main Street, was recently transformed into a winter wonderland when film crews descended upon the area. The entrance was dwarfed by giant nutcrackers, adding to the festive atmosphere. This is just one example of the many locations in Steveston that have been used as backdrops for Hallmark's made-for-TV holiday flicks.

So why has British Columbia become the go-to place for Hallmark Christmas movies? It's likely due to its unique blend of small-town charm and picturesque landscapes, which provide a perfect setting for these heartwarming stories. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Steveston is a must-see destination during the holiday season.

As you stroll through the streets, you can't help but feel like you've stepped into a Hallmark movie yourself. The manufactured snow, twinkling lights, and festive decorations all come together to create a truly magical atmosphere. So grab a cup of hot cocoa and take in the sights and sounds of this charming town, where Christmas magic is always just around the corner.
