Hallmark Movies You Probably Didn't Know Were Actually Filmed in the South

Hallmark movies draw us in with their small-town charm, revolving door of quirky, sweet-natured characters, and—of course—the promise of heart-warming romance. If you have never been sucked into a Hallmark movie—especially during Christmastime—in all of its feel-good glory, then you’ve missed the train. Lucky for you, Hallmark has no shortage of sweet-natured, drama-filled movies all year long; and this Christmas, you can catch any of their 32 brand-new holiday movies, which you can find on either the Hallmark Channel or Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, during Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas beginning October 27.We especially love Hallmark movies that pay homage to our Southern roots—our love of hospitality and home-cooking, our small town squares and festivals, and even our wholesome idea of family and love. And if it’s filmed in the South? Well, even better. People can finally see what they’re missing. So here are some Hallmark movies you might not know were actually shot in the South.
