One of Netflix’s newest 2018 Christmas movies is The Christmas Chronicles starring Kurt Russell. Read on to find out who stars in the movie and where it was filmed.
Scenes from the Movie Were Filmed in Toronto & Chicago, Along with Other Locations
The Christmas Chronicles was filmed in Toronto’s Pinewood Studios, Chicago, and other locations in Toronto including Leslieville, according to IMDB.
Many scenes were filmed in Pinewood Studios in Toronto. But many of the residential street scenes were actually filmed in Leslieville, Toronto.
The scene with the sleigh crash was filmed in Toronto at the old Unilever Building at Gardiner & DVP, according to IMDB. And a reindeer scene was filmed at 90 The PATH in Toronto at the Bay Adelaide Centre.
Nick’s Place was filmed at St. James’s Gate in Toronto, according to Global Film Locations.
A scene with a beautiful church in the background was filmed at The Cathedral Church of St. James on King Street East in Toronto, according to Global Film Locations.
A scene where the police arrive was filmed at Windsor Arms Hotel on Saint Thomas Street in Toronto, according to Global Film Locations. And as one person on Twitter pointed out, a cop chase scene was around Bloor Street in Toronto, even though a police car said Chicago on the side.
The movie was shot last January, so they’re not pretending it’s cold — it really was cold.
