The Hallmark Channel’s new Christmas in July movie premieres Saturday, July 10, at 9 p.m. Eastern. The movie stars Amy Acker, Warren Christie, Brooke Nevin, and Kristian Bruun. Read on to learn all about where the movie was filmed and the cast who brought the movie to life.
‘Crashing Through the Snow’ Was Filmed in Canada
According to IMDb, “Crashing Through the Snow” was filmed in Canada. They shot the movie in April, according to an Instagram Story shared by Summer Howell, who stars in the movie. Filming ended in May.
In an interview with the Hallmarkies Podcast, Acker said they filmed in Winnipeg for most of the movie “and then the last few days we flew to Banff … outside of Calgary which was gorgeous.”
“It was still snowing in Winnipeg when we were shooting a couple of times there,” she said. “…The last night there’s this steamy scene in a hot tub… It was our last night. It’s a scene with Warren and I and … (at) midnight it started snowing these gorgeous, amazing snowflakes the size of a tennis ball that were just like all separate and falling down… I guess all the Canadians were less fazed by it than me, but I was like, ‘This is the most magical thing I’ve ever seen. This is a Hallmark movie! You couldn’t have paid for this to be this amazing!”
Christie shared this photo thanking the Fairmont Banff while they were filming in that location.
Nevin shared a photo she took on set and wrote that movie has many winter activities, including “impressive pratfall stylings” by Acker, helicopter piloting by Christie, and more. She added that she had a lot of fun eating prop candy on set.
Myla Volk, who starred in the movie as Sophie, shared some photos and said she had tons of fun making the movie.
She shared that Howell gave her a lot of great advice while they were filming.
Filming ended in May.
In an interview with the Hallmarkies Podcast, Acker said that she’s known Christie for 15 years and they’ve worked on three non-Hallmark shows prior to this movie. “He’s just one of my favorite people ever,” she shared.
