The synopsis for tonight’s movie reads: “An interior designer brings new life to the house of a widower and his daughter and finds love in the process.”
‘Hearts of Winter’ Was Filmed in Canada
Hearts of Winter was filmed in Canada. Grant’s lodge is the fictional Windemere Mountain Lodge, but it’s actually filmed in Windermere, British Columbia, according to a post on Instagram by the Hallmark Channel.
Some filming also took place at the Panorama Mountain Resort, Hallmark noted in its post. This resort is also in British Columbia, and you can visit yourself.
The producer is really proud of his work, as you can see in this post he shared.
The movie was filmed in November.
