Filmed in Gibsons, British Columbia, Vancouver, and other locations in Canada, according to What's Filming. The movie was originally going to be called A Carousel Christmas (or a Christmas Carousel). A few exterior shots, however, were filmed later at Martha's Vineyard to give a more authentic feel, despite the movie itself being filmed in Canada.
The "real" Paula and Gery are shown during the end credits.
Inspired by the real innkeepers of the Edgartown, MA Charlotte Inn..., a magical place.
Gary's car is a 1965 Buick Riviera.
A true story inspired the film plot.
