‘Christmas Bedtime Stories’ Was Filmed in the Vancouver, Canada Region

“Christmas Bedtime Stories” is a unique story about a woman whose husband went MIA and is presumed dead. This looks like it could be a tearjerker, and is quite unique among Hallmark plotlines.

According to UBCP/ACTRA, the movie was filmed in and around Vancouver, BC, Canada. The filming production’s head office is located in Burnaby, just a few minutes out of Vancouver. Filming took place between April 18, 2022, and May 6, 2022.

The filming dates help pinpoint this selfie taken by Erin Cahill below as being from inside her trailer while she was filming. The picture was tagged as being taken in Vancouver, British Columbia.

“So happy to be back on set with this awesome crew and I am excited to share this beautiful story with you,” she wrote.

And this shot of her, outside of her trailer, was also taken while filming.

She wrote: “Friday Feels. So excited for the weekend. What are you excited for today? Sending you love from work, wonderful ones!”

Here’s another picture from when filming took place in Coal Harbour.

Meet the Cast

Hallmark’s synopsis of the movie reads:

Danielle (Cahill) was left to raise her daughter Audrey (Alice Comer, “Open by Christmas”) when her husband, Colby (Weber), goes MIA and is presumed dead during a military deployment overseas. Three years later, she has made great progress with moving on and has recently become engaged to an old friend, Pierce Baker (Lund). Audrey begins to ask questions about her dad when she learns of an upcoming father-daughter dance at school and she is feeling out of place. Danielle begins to tell Audrey bedtime stories of her father, which becomes a ritual; Audrey is rapt each night and through her mother’s memories is able to envision her father as a flesh-and-blood hero. As Danielle tells Audrey these stories, she starts to see signs that leave her feeling unsettled about Colby. On Christmas Eve, Danielle and Audrey go to the dance together, all while Danielle continues to question why her love for Pierce doesn’t feel the same as her love for Colby – if only there was a sign.

Erin Cahill plays Danielle. According to her bio, she’s acted in six different Hallmark movies, and she launched her producing career with the network with “Every Time a Bell Rings” in 2021. (She also starred in the film.) The movie debuted as the first-ever original Christmas movie on Hallmark Movies Now.

She shared some exciting news on Instagram with a screenshot revealing she had signed a multi-picture deal with Hallmark.

Huge thank you to everyone over at the network for having me in the family, all of YOU for watching, and all of my team and everyone who helped make this special moment in time happen.
