Hallmark Christmas Movie To Feature Olde Mystick Village Locations

MYSTIC, CT — Hallmark is filming another production in Connecticut, but this one is a bit different. "Mystic Christmas" will highlight actual attractions and businesses in Olde Mistick Village, WTNH News-8 reported.

Synthetic Cinema, a Rocky Hill-based company, filmed at Mystic Aquarium last week, a location that's integral to the movie's storyline. Mango's Pizza will also be featured.

The cast has not been officially announced. However, there may be a connection between the film and the 1980s classic "Mystic Pizza," starring Julia Roberts, WTNH News-8 reported.

Several holiday movies have been filmed in Connecticut in recent years. Earlier this year, filmmakers were in Bethel and New Milford. One of the movies being shot will be titled "Holly Jolly."

Hartford and West Hartford were featured in "The Ghost of Christmas Always," a Hallmark movie shot last year.

The year before, "Sugar Plum Twist" was shot in Norwich and New London and appeared on the Hallmark Channel.

"One Royal Holiday" was filmed in Putnam, Woodstock, and Hartford. The musical, holiday-themed movie premiered on the Hallmark Channel in 2020. "Holiday For Heroes," filmed in several Southeastern Connecticut towns, was released in 2019. In 2018, "Christmas On Honeysuckle Lane" appeared on Hallmark and was shot in Wethersfield.
