A Danish Christmas is a 2026 holiday romance comedy movie from Hallmark Media. It is directed by Colin Theys and written by Juliana Wimbles, from a story by Emilie Ullerup and Linda Carolei. It stars Emilie Ullerup as Marie and Corey Sevier as Ryan Miller. Kyle Cassie also appears, as the other Ryan Miller. It was filmed in Copenhagen, Denmark, with the family inn scenes shot outside the city.
Marie is a hotel tech executive from Chicago who goes home to Copenhagen for Christmas and helps at her family’s Andersen Inn. A guest named Ryan Miller checks in, and she mistakes him for a travel writer with the same name. She builds a Christmas tour of the city to win a good review, because her mother plans to sell the inn after the New Year. The real writer arrives later.
A Danish Christmas premiered on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel, as part of Countdown to Christmas. It streamed on Hallmark+ the next day.

Girls Gone Hallmark says production took place during the 2025 Christmas season, and Moviedelic says principal photography ran for a few weeks at Christmastime in 2025. Emilie Ullerup told Hallmark she knew from the start that the movie had to be filmed in Denmark in December. Alexander Yellen handled the cinematography.
Fantasy Land News reports, from Hallmark’s own Q&A, that the cast and crew spent the first couple of weeks at an old manor house, and then moved into Copenhagen. Many local actors were hired, including talent from Panorama Agency and Panorama Academy.
📍Farumgård, Farum Lake, Farum
The scenes at the Andersen Inn were shot in and around Farumgård, a former manor house on Farum Lake, in the town of Farum northwest of Copenhagen, according to Moviedelic. This matches the Hallmark Q&A, which says an old manor house stood in for the family inn. It was the first place the crew worked.
Visiting: We could not confirm the access rules, so please check before visiting.
📍Nyhavn, Copenhagen
Nyhavn is the 17th-century waterfront with its coloured houses, and it appears in the movie’s key art. Moviedelic lists it among the places in Marie’s tour. We could not confirm which scenes were shot there.
Visiting: Nyhavn is a public waterfront, so you can walk along it. It can be crowded in the evenings.
📍Church of Our Saviour, Sankt Annæ Gade 29, Copenhagen
The church is known for its spiral staircase on the outside of the tower, which gives a view over the city. According to the Hallmark Q&A, one of the last filming days took the crew up the narrow tower staircase. Ullerup said she grew up in Copenhagen but had never been to the top.
Visiting: Please check opening hours and the tower’s seasonal access before you go.
📍King’s Garden and Rosenborg Castle, Øster Voldgade 4A, Copenhagen
Moviedelic says the park outside Rosenborg Castle appears during Marie and Ryan’s tour. It is the most visited park in central Copenhagen. We could not confirm which scenes it appears in.
Visiting: The park is public, and visitors can walk through it.
📍Amalienborg Palace, Copenhagen
Moviedelic says several key scenes were shot at Amalienborg, the home of the Danish royal family. We could not confirm the scenes, and we could not find a second source for this one.
Visiting: The palace square is public, but please keep to the areas open to visitors.
📍Kongens Nytorv and Strøget, Copenhagen
Kongens Nytorv is a large square in the city centre, and Strøget is the pedestrian shopping street. Both appear in the movie according to Moviedelic. We could not confirm the scenes, so please treat these as reported.
Visiting: Both are public, and they are busy in the holiday season.
📍Other Areas
We could not confirm any other exact place. Ullerup grew up in Copenhagen, and she said the crew filmed on the streets where she grew up. Our Europe page lists more films shot across the continent, including Hallmark’s Toast to Italy.
A Danish Christmas Behind the Scenes
To make your search for A Danish Christmas filming even more interesting, here are some behind-the-scenes moments that Emilie Ullerup shared on her own Instagram account. She is also an executive producer on the movie. This is her first time producing for Hallmark.
Producer Linda Corolei called her with the idea of a movie about Denmark and hygge, and within three weeks they had a script. Ullerup said she wanted to bring her family home. Her mother, sister, nephew, cousin and her cousin’s son appear in the film, and so does her husband, Kyle Cassie.
Fun fact: Ullerup said Sevier was nervous about the Danish mulled wine, but he loved it after one sip. For another Hallmark movie with Ullerup, see Missing the Boat, and for another 2026 Hallmark holiday movie shot in Canada, see Adopting St. Nick.
