Connecticut launches first Christmas movie trail, boosting tourism and local economies.

Connecticut has launched the nation’s first Christmas Movie Trail, showcasing 22 filming spots in towns like Wethersfield and Norwich for Hallmark, Lifetime, and other holiday films. The trail aims to boost tourism, local businesses, and guided tours featuring historic sites, hotels, and screenings. The initiative taps into the enduring popularity of holiday TV movies, a genre that grew after Hallmark’s 2006 hit The Christmas Card.
