Looking for your very own Christmas on the ranch? Here’s everything you need to know about the filming locations in A California Christmas:

Where was A California Christmas filmed?

The title doesn’t lie! A California Christmas was filmed in Petaluma, California, a scenic town just north of San Francisco in Sonoma County. For the majority of the film, the cast shot on location at star and executive producer Ali Afshar’s childhood home. They also shot around the area, like at the Hotel Petaluma.

A California Christmas was one of the first film sets to return after the major industry-wide shutdown caused by the pandemic. They began filming in early July, getting clearance from Petaluma officials to work on set. With Afshar’s home as the location and a real-life couple playing the lead stars, A California Christmas ensured a safe set.

Who is in the cast of A California Christmas?

Along with the Swickards and Afshar, A California Christmas also stars David Del Rio, Katelyn Epperly, Amanda Detmer, Natalia Mann, and Gunnar Anderson.
