The synopsis for tonight’s movie reads: “When her Philadelphia radio station is closed for repairs during the holidays, DJ Kara Porter (Pulliam) is forced to broadcast from the small town of Bethlehem. Desperate to increase her numbers and get promoted outside of Radio Christmas – a year-round Christmas station, Kara seeks to uncover the identity of the town’s Secret Santa, an anonymous benefactor that saved all of Bethlehem’s Christmas festivities. Along the way, she discovers the true meaning of family, community, love and of course, Christmas.”

The Movie Was Filmed in Canada
Radio Christmas was filmed in Canada, despite the story taking place in Philadelphia. IMDb lists one of the filming locations as being Winnipeg, Manitoba, which is also a popular location for many Hallmark films too.
Stonewall, Manitoba is another filming location for this movie. Keshia Knight Pulliam told UPI about the timing of the filming: “I think that it’s really hard not to be in the Christmas spirit when you’re doing one of these movies, when you’re surrounded by all of the decoration, the snow and the trees and the light. So, it was a lot of fun and, of course, my family travels with me when I work. So my daughter was there and she just loved seeing all of the decorations.”
The movie was filmed in February, UPI reported, while it was still winter.
