This Christmas, Netflix gave us hot Frosty and fluffy holiday rom-com updates. Starring the average girl alum Lacey Chabert, the film follows the owner of a brave diner who can use a bit of Christmas cheer. Kathy's (Chabelle) holiday season is turned upside down when she's gifted a magic scarf that turns a carved snowman into a living, hot-blooded man. Cathy has recently lost her husband, and the newly human Jack (Dustin Milligan of Schitt's Creek) gives her a second chance of love (and for such a healthy flick

as in many Christmas movies, Hot Frosty has a Gilmore girl star hollowing out the run for its money). The setting of this film, which goes by a cozy little town that gives Hope Springs, New York, viewers are wondering if they can complete their holiday season with a trip to the town (whether it includes a hot thawing snowman). Read everything we know about Hot Frosty shooting locations.

Sorry to break my heart, but the small town of Hope Springs in Hot Frosty, New York, is completely fictional. But N.Y.C.Just 1 hour from there is a village with a similar name. Cold Springs, NY, is located on the Hudson River just an hour ride to Metro North, and is idyllic enough to satisfy your small town fantasies all year round. (It's anyone's guess whether you'll come across a hot, kind man cooking dinner.

Like many Netflix films, Hot Frosty was shot on location in and around the cities of Brockville and Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. According to TheWrap, Brockville crosses the border, almost just north of New York, and is a 7-hour or 2-hour flight away by car.

As reported by Screenrant, the Courthouse Square in Downtown Blockville (also known as the City of 1000 Islands) stood for the square in Hope Springs, where a snowman competition took place and Jack was born (or transformed). The scene of Cathy's diner and reclaimed rag recycling shop was filmed in nearby buildings, including the Keystone Pub.

Meanwhile, according to CTV News, Cathy's home was taken in Almonte, a former factory town 1 hour northwest of Brockville and 1 hour southwest of Ottawa.

Finally, a closed elementary school in Ottawa served as a Christmas dance place.
