North Georgia residents are excited about this weekend’s airing of a Christmas movie, “Christmas Love Letter”, filmed in Helen back in April. The movie is set to premiere Saturday on the Lifetime channel. Produced by Sunshine Films, the movie follows the story of an advice columnist who, after receiving an unsigned love letter in a Christmas card, returns to her hometown of Helen to find the writer.
Unicoi State Park & Lodge, north of Helen, is decking its halls for a special screening of the romantic holiday movie. It was among the locales used during filming. Visitors and locals are invited to watch the film in the lodge’s ballroom when it premiers at 6 p.m. on December 21.
“We’re excited to show our hospitality onscreen and share our holiday spirit with Lifetime viewers across the country,” says Unicoi State Park & Lodge General Manager Bill Mish.
In addition to the special screening Saturday, Unicoi State Park & Lodge is hosting a festive “Dr. Seuss Whoville Christmas” event from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event will feature a reading of the Dr. Seuss classic “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.” There will be themed crafts, face painting, a Whoville Feast at the Unicoi Restaurant and a visit from Santa.
