Lifetime Christmas Movie Filmed In Marietta
Three Marietta businesses were being used in the filming of a Lifetime movie airing in December. Crews were filming in the area Wednesday.
MARIETTA, GA — Marietta residents may see a bit of familiarity on their TV screens this holiday season.
Movie crews were filming Wednesday afternoon at the Marietta Square for a Christmas movie airing on Lifetime in December, executive producer Tracy "Twinkie" Byrd told The Marietta Daily Journal. Christmas decorations were adorned across shop windows, portions of West Park Square and in Glover Park.
Three Marietta businesses are being used in the filming, according to The MDJ: Lizards & Lollipopz, Rhinos and Rhinestonez, and Piastra Italian Cuisine. The real names of the shops will be kept in the film, rather than covered with fake ones as it's been done in the past.

Filming wrapped up around 1 a.m., but crews will be back at Glover Park Thursday afternoon for more filming. Set decorations will be taken down Friday morning.
