The synopsis for the movie reads: “Ever-optimistic single mom Emma Sanderson is looking for a Christmas miracle to write about for the lifestyle magazine at which she has landed a temporary job. While following her lead on the story, Emma discovers unexpected romance with a supportive colleague and takes it upon herself to bring about a Christmas miracle for a lonely street musician.”
‘A Christmas Miracle’ Was Filmed in Canada
The movie was filmed in Canada. Darnell shared the following photo from the filming and tagged it as being in Vancouver, Canada.
The movie started shooting in late August 2019, Parade reported.
Tamera Mowry-Housley’s Hallmark movie, A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, is shooting now in Vancouver (under non-holiday working title, which is why I missed it). Mowry-Housley is also producing and says the story is about, “an aspiring writer wants to start a new life with her son.”
Here are some more behind-the-scenes photos.

Mowry-Housley is an executive producer for the movie too. She told TV Insider: “I definitely wanted to make sure the film was diverse. That is a reflection of my life. I am biracial. I work on The Real, where we talk about how representation matters, and having that power of choosing the cast, I wanted to make sure we had that… I also wanted to make sure I was a mom. I love being a mom. That is by far one of my favorite roles.”
