Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ “Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas” premieres on Saturday, November 27, at 10 p.m. Eastern. Encores will air throughout the season. The movie stars Jessy Schram and Brendan Penny. Read on to learn all about where the movie was filmed and the cast.
This is the fourth in the “Time for” Christmas series. The first three are “Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas” (2018), “Time for You to Come Home for Christmas” (2019), and “Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas” (2020.)
‘Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas’ Was Filmed in Canada
“Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas” was filmed in Vancouver, Canada. UBCP/ACTRA’s production list noted that the movie’s production manager is Geoff Dodd, the director is Peter Benson, and the casting director is Jackie Lind. Film dates were scheduled for September 20 through October 8 in Vancouver, according to UBCP/ACTRA.
Schram also confirmed in an interview with Monsters & Critics that the movie was filmed in the fall in Vancouver.
Schram said she was drawn to the amnesiac storyline: “When we dealt with this amnesiac story, I think the appeal for me was figuring out who this person is, who you are without your memories, and without any baggage or judgment of who you are.”
Schram shared photos on her Instagram story during filming, which Twitter account @SleepyKittyPaw saved and shared on Twitter.
Shelly Baxter, a makeup artist, said she had a ball working on Schram’s movie.
Penny was a good sport for the Christmas onesie pictures everyone took.
Schram told Monsters & Critics that the first scene she and Penny filmed together for the movie was a road trip.
“I did not know him (Penny) beforehand,” she said. “I’d heard lovely things about him. And then on our first day, they changed around some scenes and we were in the car all day together, and we became the best of friends. We started out the movie on the road trip, so it felt very serendipitous.”
Lisa Durupt wrote about the movie, “Well we can add another amazing, fierce, loving human to the list of non biological sisters I am keeping for life: @jschramer … and directed by my fav @peterbenson889 !!!! (Plus our EP was non other than @blakeshelton so you know the music is going to be awesome!)”
Schram replied: “You are fantastic in this ❤️❤️ couldn’t have asked for a better sister :)”
