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).
