If you're on the lookout for a jolly cheese fest, Hallmark's 'The Most Colorful Time of the Year' would possibly simply be for you. Let's talk filming places.
Though the quintessential holiday film style has observed a slew of extraordinary plots over the years — e.g. The Grinch, Gremlins (yes, it is a Christmas film), and Anna and the Apocalypse — we are just going to be frank with you; there's no option to prepare you for the premise of Hallmark's newest holiday flick. It may not be as freaky as our aforementioned examples, but The Most Colorful Time of the Year will certainly take you on a wildly tacky journey.
"Ryan is an elementary school teacher, who learns that he is colorblind. Michelle, an optometrist and mother of one of his students, helps bring color into his life in time for the holidays," the film's respectable synopsis reads. We can not make this stuff up.
The festive optometry-themed film (cross on, let out a chortle) stars Katrina Bowden (Nurse three-D) and Christopher Russell (Warming Up to You) as Michelle and Ryan.
And despite the fact that the movie is apparently set in a mystical international the place the quality of one's eyesight is hooked up to their love lifestyles, we're here to speak real-life filming places.
Where was 'The Most Colorful Time of the Year' filmed?
Per the Ottawa Citizen, The Most Colorful Time of the Year is just one of Sixteen 2022 holiday motion pictures shot in Ottawa. Lifetime's Well Suited for Christmas and Reindeer Games Homecoming, and Hallmark's Holiday Heritage and ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas had been all filmed in Ottawa, which sits in the southern region of Ontario.
In an interview with Digital Journal, Christopher Russell relayed that they shot the film in August 2022.
According to the Ottawa Film Office, mentioned Sixteen movies "contributed $28.5 million to Ottawa’s economy, employed hundreds of locals," and, of route, showcased the Canadian capital's ethereal countryside and surprising Victorian structure.
"Combined with 14 additional feature-length films and over 14 TV series that also shot in the area, the live-action production sector has generated over $57 million to-date for the local economy in 2022."
More in particular, Ottawa Tourism detailed that the well-known ByWard Market — aka the town's top tourist attraction — was utilized for The Most Colorful Time of the Year. Covering "roughly four blocks square," the appeal is known for its museums, cafés, gourmet food stores, boutiques, galleries, restaurants, pubs, and salons.
St. Matthew’s Anglican Church at 217 First Ave. (located in the community of Glebe), Mati restaurant (recognized for its Mediterranean seafood dishes) at 428 Preston St., and Avenue North Realty Inc. at 482 Preston St., also acted as filming places.
The Most Colorful Time of the Year premieres on Friday, Dec. 8, 2022 on the Hallmark Channel.
