The winter-water wonderland that is Michigan has no shortage of scenic small towns that offer the perfect backdrop for any Hallmark movie classic:

  • Beachside communities? We've got them!
  • Charming Christmas towns? Check!
  • Family-owned farms and orchards that have been passed down through generations? Absolutely! 

Have Any Hallmark Movies Filmed Here?

There actually are a handful of Hallmark-produced movies that have been filmed in Michigan. In addition to A Christmas Story Christmas, actress Jane Seymour returned to The Mitten and filmed Perfectly Prudence in Grand Rapids.

Seymour famously starred in the heart-tugging Somewhere in Time along with Christopher Reeve which was both set and filmed on Mackinac Island.

Check out our short-list for Michigan filming locations for the Hallmark Channel's next movie below the obnoxious ad:
