‘Campfire Christmas’ is a cut of the film. The premise involves Peyton and her eccentric family who, right before the sale, decide to hold a family-themed holiday gathering at the summer camp they own. Therefore, as she returns to her roots, romance begins to develop between Peyton and her closest friends.
Part of Hallmark’s ‘Christmas in July’ line, the family romantic comedy has garnered a lot of praise from the media for its casual subversion of generic holiday movie tropes. Most of the narrative takes place in and around a dreamy camp, making you wonder where “Campfire Christmas” was filmed and who all the cast members are.
Where Was Campfire Christmas Movie Filmed?
‘Campfire Christmas’ was filmed entirely in the province of British Columbia, particularly in Victoria. Filming of the Hallmark film began in April 2022 and was completed in May of that year.
Experienced cinematographer William McKnight (“Love in the Shop”, “The Last Bridesmaid”) joined as cinematographer. On the other hand, Trevor Belcourt, the production designer of “Love, Classified” and “The Wedding Veil” has joined the team as a production designer.
For filmmakers and producers, the Canadian province offers a variety of dramatic landscapes, including mountains, lakes, coniferous forests, prairies, and desert grasslands. In addition, the government entices production by offering lucrative tax breaks on eligible productions. Now let’s take you to the specific locations where the Hallmark Christmas movie Campfire was filmed.
British Columbia
“Campfire Christmas” is somewhat fictional because the production team built the scenes elsewhere. While the camp name exists in Alberta, the cast and crew filmed scenes in Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia. Located at the southern end of Vancouver Island, Victoria is a planned city with abundant scenic greenery. In addition, the old houses of the city boast Victorian architecture that recalls the colonial past of the metropolis.
