Il Natale di Chris

Although it is never stated explicitly, the movie is set in St. Louis as witnessed by the interscenes. The movie, however, was filmed in Ottawa.

The movie takes place in St. Louis just before Christmas, but it was shot in Ottawa, Canada. The only time you see winter is in the stock footage as it was obviously shot in the summer. In the every outdoor scene it can be heard loud bird singing, and birds don't sing in autumn and winter. In the wide outdoor shots, it can be seen a lot of green deciduous trees, but in the close shots, production mostly sprayed them with artificial snow to hide it. Around the mid of the movie, there is an outdoor night scene, and it was typical summer heavy rain shower which they tried to hide with close shots, but you can see it behind the cast how much rain poured.
