Where is Gracious, Vermont?
The fictional town of Gracious is a popular destination for struggling couples in need of Christmas cheer, a place so charming that they found it impossible to leave...
Inhabited by 513 merry inhabitants, Gracious was mostly filmed in Carman, a small village in the Pembina Valley Region, located about 40 minutes southwest of Winnipeg.

The city hall-looking building with a clock tower, located next to the welcome sign is actually the Boyne Regional Library in Carman, hosted in an old Post Office opened in 1914.
Carman is a charming town that also served as a location for the Bernie's Country Store, situated just across the street, where the Sip'n Shop scene takes place.

Also in Carman, the Golden Prairie Arts Council and Gallery served as the Kayla's Colorful Pet Portraits shop.
Built in 1902, this cute building is the town's former railway station, transformed in 2003 into a lovely art gallery.
The Crazy Lady's Cafeteria is a real restaurant and local convenience store located at 8 1st Avenue.

The awesome but brief Twinkle Lights Parade by the end of the movie was also recorded in Carman.

However, the Greenbrae Inn with the massive Christmas-falling ornaments is the historic Scott House at 29 Ruskin Row in Winnipeg.
Constructed in 1914, this luxurious Tudor Revival-style mansion contains oak-paneled interiors, a grand staircase, and stained-glass windows.

Gracious Christmas market, Cindy's Garage, and the car showroom were filmed at Anderson's Hitch 'n Post Ranch, located on the outskirts of Winnipeg near Grosse Isle.
This popular wedding venue closed down its doors in 2021 after 37 years.

By the way, the scenes in New York at the beginning of the movie were filmed in Downtown Winnipeg.
Becca and Robby's apartment is located in a building on the corner of Main Street and Bannatyne Avenue.
There's also a scene before seeing their marriage counselor with Becca filmed near Wee Johnny's Irish Pub at 177 McDermot Avenue, and one with Robby on Rorie Street.

My wife Maria and I just finished watching We Wish You a Married Christmas and we loved it! Love our Hallmark Christmas movies, and that was a sweet one with Marisol and Kristoffer. They were wonderful and shows that there’s always a chance if you only try to change.

Just finished watching We wish you a married Christmas. It was a touching film which reminds me of many couples whose work lives take them away from what is very important to them, love. I enjoy all the Hallmark films, it puts me in the holiday spirit. I would love to find one of those Christmas towns and spend a holiday weekend with my husband to make Christmas very special. Thank you Hallmark!
