Hallmark holiday movies bring in viewers every Christmas, providing them with their annual fix of feel-good TV comfort. Even for those who've watched dozens of Hallmark holiday movies over the years, there's still a lot that viewers don't know about that goes on. Hallmark holiday movies are typically set in a charming yet generic small town in America, yet the vast majority of these made-for-TV movies are actually filmed in Canada, most notably Vancouver. In fact, several Vancouver area suburbs — particularly the British Columbia cities of Langley and Maple Ridge — can lay claim to hosting dozens of Hallmark holiday movies over the years. In fact, filming Hallmark productions has become so prevalent in Maple Ridge that the city has its own film production liaison who receives more requests to film there than she can accommodate. Nearby Langley has also been the setting of countless Hallmark productions. Speaking with the Aldergrove Star, Teri James, executive director of the Downtown Langley Business Association, outlined some of the benefits that keep Hallmark coming back year after year, including a special tax break and local businesses that are "very supportive of filming."
