Christmas Movie Being Filmed In Downtown Claremore

Downtown Claremore has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland as filming for an upcoming Christmas movie continues.

Many of the stores along Main Street have also decorated and will be featured in the background of the movie.

The Claremore Area Chamber of Commerce said the movie will feature actress Candace Cameron Brue. Filming began this week and has caught the attention of many people in town.

Sheila Giannelli is the owner of Vintique Charm on Main Street.

Giannelli said she just decorated for fall then got notice about the Christmas-themed movie coming to town.

“They gave us the choice of decorating or they would come and decorate it,” said Giannelli. “They added all the balls hanging from the awning and a few things."

Dot’s Café was used during the filming of another series back in February. Owner Melinda Knight said she is excited to be a part of the action again.

Filming is expected to wrap up on Thursday, Oct. 13. However, members of the crew said it could be a week before the set is torn down.

The movie is expected to premiere at the end of November.
