Towns In Montana That Look Like Hallmark Movies

One of the most popular things to do during the holiday season is to check out the cheesy Christmas movies on Hallmark.

You know the ones I'm talking about, some town with a local widow/widower played by someone popular two decades ago, who happens to run a failing tree farm or local factory that was passed down. All of a sudden, a big-city type comes to town to buy them out and shut it down.

At first, they don't get along, but then, over the course of 1 hour and 20 minutes, they fall in love, realize they're meant to be together, the town's factory is saved, and everyone has a Merry Christmas.

Heck, we even have a couple based here in Montana.

For those interested, you might want to check out "A Royal Montana Christmas" which came out this year, oh, and then there is the classic "Christmas in Montana" which was released back in 2019.

Other than cheese, what do all these Hallmark Christmas Movies have in common? Well, they're always set in a small town filled with charm. So, that proposed the question.

Which Montana town would be the perfect backdrop for a Hallmark Christmas Movie?

I can think of a handful right off the top of my head, with the first one being Livingston, but according to one source, Livingston didn't even make the Top 5. The Action Network decided to take a few factors into consideration to determine which Montana town would be the perfect Hallmark Christmas Town. They used the following metrics:

Small Businesses
Historic Places
Snowfall

Based on those factors, the Montana town most likely to be the backdrop for a Hallmark Christmas Movie is the town of Kalispell. I'm not angry about that. Kalispell is a lovely town, filled with good people. Oh, and in case you're curious, the other Montana towns that made the Top 5 are:

Helena, Montana
Hamilton, Montana
Lewistown, Montana
Dillon, Montana
