    1. I don't know about Erin Cahill (I think this might be her first Hallmark movie) but David Alpay was in Ice Sculpture Christmas last year, one of my favorite Hallmark Christmas movies.

    3. You're welcome! I agree, he looks different in these pictures. Must be the beard and mustache.

    1. Actually... no, that's not the same actor, but others have said the same thing! (I think it's the facial hair!)

      The movie you are referring to is "Christmas in Homestead," which stars Michael Rady, who was also in the Hallmark movie "Cloudy With a Chance of Love."

      David Alpay, as Amy shared above, was previously in a Hallmark movie, too! He starred opposite of Rachel Boston last year in "Ice Sculpture Christmas."

      If you click on the movie titles, you can see all the pictures from the movies!

      Thank you for commenting... Merry Christmas!!! Net

      They filmed "Sleigh Bells Ring" in and around Vancouver. The Vancouver shoots will often venture over to Squamish and to Whistler as well. I don't know if they went to those places, but it's highly possible.

    2. During the credits you can see the carved words "Mission City 1935" - If you google those words, you'll find that's the Mission City Post Office in Mission, BC, Canada. I would assume that's probably where most of the locations where shot. I got a kick out of all the trees with green leaves and quickly melting fake snow piled around them!

  9. Favorite scene with Laurel (#ErinCahill) - Upset with Alex for taking over Christmas decorating and costume-making.

    Favorite scene with Alex (#DavidAlpay) - Getting the call that he got the job, but not happy.

    Favorite scene with Laurel and Alex together - Their visit with Santa.

    1. The question above translated from Spanish to English asks...

      como se pueden ver estas peliculas?????

      How can you see these movies??????

      The answer to your question is... these movies, in particular the Hallmark Christmas Movies can be seen on the Hallmark Channel in July, late October, November and December.

      Many of the Hallmark Christmas movies are also available on DVD. See them on my DVD list here:

    2. I have looked to buy Sleigh Bells Ring on Amazon and it isn’t available! Do you know why?

      Delete
    3. I'm not sure why some movies are chosen over others to be released on DVD. Perhaps, ratings and actors popularity is a factor.

  12. What is the name of the song (and the group) that played while David helped Scarlett decorate the tree? It started with, "The best time of year is finally here" - catchy tune.

    1. I've been trying to find that out too... seems very secretive... most Hallmark songs I can find on YouTube or online but most YouTube postings of this movie have this song muted.... to whoever wrote it it's a great song but I'm a musician and I learn songs by ear and figured it out so please publicize it you can't keep it a secret forever!!!!

  13. During the scene where Alex takes over decorating, the camera shows the fireplace and mantal which has 2 stockings hanging. They are white with red reindeers and have a tan/brown fur trim on the top. Does anyone know where i can find these exact stockings? I can only find ones similar.

    1. Oh, I know - Erin Cahill's camel coat is so beautiful in the movie, "Sleigh Bells Ring." Unfortunately, since it was 4 years ago, it probably isn't available now.

      I did spot a similar one at Amazon that is really cute, too... https://amzn.to/2Wcdex8
