How to Watch Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie Filmed in Minnesota

Minnesota has been home to some cool movies over the years, and we now know when you can watch this Hallmark Channel Christmas movie filmed on-location here in the North Star State.

The Land of 10,000 Lakes has been no stranger to movies and TV shows. 90's movies like The Mighty Ducks (which was set here in Minnesota but mainly filmed in Hollywood) and Grumpy Old Men (which was set in Wabasha but was filmed in parts of St. Paul and Lake Rebecca in Rockford, northwest of the Twin Cities) put Minnesota on the map back in the day.

More recently, movies like 'The Christmas Listing' (filmed in the Isanti) and 'Merry Kiss Cam' (filmed in Duluth) have been featured on platforms like Lifetime and Hulu, while the independent movie 'Sold Out' (set in and filmed in the Twin Cities and released in 2021) is still streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Last year, a new docuseries from Minneapolis-based director Adam Zuehlke premiered on Amazon Prime Video as well. (It's called 'Searching For The Mikinaak' and it was released back in May 2023.)

If you missed it last year, you can now get in the holiday spirit when the Minnesota Christmas movie, 'Rescuing Christmas' is set to air again this season on the Hallmark Channel. The movie was filmed on-location in Duluth in 2023, with Duluth's Bayfront Park doubling as the town square, along with other familiar settings.

According to IMDB, one of Minnesota's latest forays into holiday movies will hit screens this year on the Hallmark Channel on Monday, November 25th. It'll also air again on Friday, December 6th; Thursday, December 19th; and Saturday, December 28th. It's also streaming on the Hallmark+ app.

'Rescuing Christmas' stars Rachael Leigh Cook, Sam Page, Patrick Thomas O’Brien, Bailey Stender, and T. Mychael Rambo, and here's a preview, courtesy of TV Insider :

In a world where Santa (Rambo) is real and wants to drum up some holiday spirit, two of Santa’s elves, Chuck (O’Brien) and Debbie (Stender), devise a plan to grant one human on Earth three wishes to kickstart the holidays. Unfortunately, that human is Erin (Cook), who has lost all affection for the season. Even a blind date set up by her sister, with the affable and charming Sam (Page), won’t change her mind about Christmas.

However, TV Insider continues, "When she makes the mistake of wishing Christmas would “just disappear,” Erin wakes up to a world where the holiday never existed. Horrified, she realizes that she’s taken away everyone’s joy, so she enlists Sam to help her reinvent the festivities from scratch."
