Connecticut knows how to do Christmas! The state’s charm has made it a go-to for holiday films by Hallmark, Netflix, and Lifetime. Now, with Governor Ned Lamont leading the way, the nation's first-ever Christmas Movie Trail has officially kicked off, bringing holiday movie magic to life! Christine and Salt joined the Governor at the Silas W. Robbins House in Wethersfield—filming location for Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane by Rocky Hill’s own Synthetic Cinema.
Get ready to step into your favorite holiday scenes! With a free downloadable map, fans can follow in the footsteps of stars like Hallmark’s Wes Brown, Erin Cahill, and Michael Rady, who were on hand to share their love for Connecticut’s holiday spirit. Erin said, “I’m not a Nutmegger, but I am one in my heart. I’ve spent so many Thanksgivings and Christmases here; it feels like home.”
Governor Lamont joked, “We have a wine trail and a beer trail, so why not a Christmas trail?” And this trail is packed with 22 filming locations across Connecticut, from historic inns to cozy main streets.
Featured Films on the Trail include:
Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane, Mystic Christmas, A Holiday in Harlem, Next Stop, Christmas, The Noel Diary, One Royal Holiday, Christmas at Pemberley Manor, and more!
So grab a map, hit the trail, and make your holiday season feel like a movie—right here in Connecticut! 🎄
