Connecticut’s Christmas Movie Trail proves screen stories can keep producing after wrap

Associated Press reporting followed fans traveling through Connecticut to visit recognizable locations from Hallmark, Netflix, Lifetime, BET, and other holiday films. The statewide Christmas Movie Trail connects more than 22 productions to real towns, attractions, restaurants, and hospitality businesses.

The audience-building lesson extends beyond Christmas movies. When a municipality, venue, restaurant, school, or tourism partner preserves good location media and connects it to useful visitor information, a production can keep creating attention long after filming ends.

Trail stops and participating businesses can change. Travelers should use Connecticut Tourism’s current trail information before planning a route.
