Here Are 8 Top-Ranked Hallmark Christmas Movies Set in Maine
There's a reason people call out Maine towns for looking like they are straight out of a Hallmark movie, especially around Christmas.
You know, like when the colorful lights adorn the trees, snow covers the area like a blanket, the small town has that hustle and bustle, and the cozy cafes and the charming downtown shops create that nostalgic holiday feeling you just can’t fake.
It's no wonder that Hallmark sometimes sets some of its own Christmas movies in the Pine Tree State for classic tales of the big-city girl rediscovering love and life by falling for the hometown guy, all against a snowy, picture-perfect New England backdrop. So, of course, we've got a ranked list of eight Hallmark Christmas movies set in Maine for you to get in the holiday spirit.
What Hallmark Christmas Movies Are Set in Maine?
Sometimes you just want a feel-good movie that gives you the warm and fuzzies. Sure, the story is predictable. The characters often feel cookie-cutter. And each Hallmark flick can feel interchangeable.
And yet, that upbeat romantic story where the drama doesn't feel overly weighted, there's joy and happiness through it all, and basically everything works out in the end, can just be nice.
It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom.
Hallmark has a whole bunch of options on that front, but if you're looking for the ones set in Maine (not filmed in Maine), then buckle up because we've got the list for you.
Yes, when you watch these as a Mainer or New Englander, there's probably plenty to point out like "that doesn't look like Maine" or "that would never happen," etc. Throw those thoughts out, sit back, relax, and just let the Hallmark wash over you.

But look, at the end of the day, Hallmark Christmas movies aren’t about being spot-on accurate to the state; it's about that cozy, charming, happy love story.

So settle in and enjoy the cheeseiness, cliches, and warm winter charm of Maine in a Hallmark movie. Classic.
