Christmas at the Plaza - The Plaza Hotel, New York City
The Plaza Hotel is an iconic location for Christmas movies – you probably remember it as the setting for Eloise at Christmastime and Home Alone 2, among others.

Chateau Christmas - Whistler, British Columbia
For 2020’s Chateau Christmas, Hallmark headed to the Fairmont Chateau Whistler in British Columbia. This luxury resort is at the base of Blackcomb Mountain, and served as the location for the film’s fictional Chateau Neuhaus.
