Connecticut’s towns and streets have been a backdrop for movies and TV shows for a long time. The Connecticut Tourism Office has created a list of Christmas movies filmed across the state in a movie trail that includes 22 films.

Connecticut has a film industry supported by one of the state’s largest business tax credit programs. Over almost two decades, this program has conveyed more than $1.5 billion to film and television productions.

While some movies show only the towns and streets that have become holiday settings, others have specific stores and restaurants featured in the films. Here’s a detailed map providing the exact locations of these spots. Click on the description of a point on the map to see the precise address and which movie featured that location.
