9 Hallmark Christmas Movies Filmed In Small Towns

The Setting: Dahlonega, Georgia

Although supposedly set in the "Christmas-obsessed town of Homestead, Iowa," this holiday rom-com was actually filmed in Dahlonega, Georgia (population 6,437). The movie follows a famous actress, who goes on location to shoot a holiday movie in the small town and winds up falling in love. In real life, Dahlonega is actually pretty Christmas-obsessed. The town hosts a month-long celebration with daily activities including a lighting ceremony, an old-fashioned Christmas parade, visits with Santa, a Christmas Market on Candy Cane Lane, and more. Interestingly, Homestead, Iowa (population 148), is a real place, too—and the actual hometown of actor Ashton Kutcher.
