Trivia
The year the movie was filmed in Georgetown was an exceptionally warm winter and the scenes of the town there was no snow, tractor trailers hauled snow in each night to create the scenes for the next day's shooting. See more »Goofs
When Bud says goodbye to Susan at the Post Office, he refers to Aunt Henny as 'Aunt Hayley'. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Even if I had never seen or heard of Georgetown, CO, this would be a sweet little movie. But my dad was born and raised there, and those are my uncle's horses you see pulling the sleigh! So this movie is very special to me. A lot of the interiors are shot in buildings and houses I recognize, and are very realistic. The story is a little hokey, but Georgetown is that kind of magical place where things like that COULD happen. John Denver was a better actor than a lot of people give him credit for. Mary Wickes plays the kind of "common-sense lady with a lot of sass" she played so well in many other films, most notably "White Christmas". I usually don't get to go out there in the winter, so I like to see this movie at Christmas time to "tide me over" until my next trip!
