Spot the scene


Ottawa's charming historic buildings, snow-covered streets, and scenic illuminated backdrops have made it a favorite location for many holiday movies, including:


  • Hot Frosty (#1 on Netflix, 2024)

  • Yes Chef! Christmas (Lifetime, 2023)

  • Royally Wrapped for Christmas (GAC)

  • Hotel for the Holidays (Amazon Freevee, 2022)

  • ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas (Hallmark, 2022)

  • All I Don’t Want for Christmas (VH1, 2022)

  • A Christmas Fumble (OWN, 2022)


Howard’s Fine Jewellers has one of the most beautifully decorated storefronts and was featured in Christmas Unwrapped (Lifetime). This is the perfect place to stop if you're on the hunt for that special piece of jewelry for a loved one this season.


Enjoy a coffee or sweet treat at Le Moulin de Provence, a location highlighted in A Chestnut Family Christmas (Oprah Winfrey Network), Great Holiday Bake War (OWN, 2022), and One Delicious Christmas (Discovery+, 2022).  


Enjoy a staycation at Restays, where you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of Parliament. It will feel as if you’re in A New Diva’s Christmas Carol (VH1, 2022).

It's so cool to see how many Christmas movies have been filmed there. I'm especially intrigued by Howard's Fine Jewellers – a beautifully decorated storefront sounds like the perfect place to find a special gift. This makes me want to plan a trip there during the holidays! You could even imagine filming a holiday rom-com involving, oh, I don't know, a "crazy cattle 3d" animated display gone awry. (Hey, every movie needs a quirky element, right?). I'm definitely checking out that map to plot my visit!

Absolutely love the festive vibe this piece evokes — Sparks Street really feels like a scene out of a cozy holiday film 🎄✨. Got me in the mood for something whimsical, and I ended up spending way too much time playing around with quirky audio mods at sprunki mod — such a fun escape when you're feeling nostalgic!
