While you’re packing your cozy sweaters and dreaming of snow, we have the perfect feel-good assignment for you… grab a hot chocolate, get under a blanket, and stream the No. 1 movie on Netflix right now: My Secret Santa, filmed right here in Sun Peaks.

With more than 18.1 million views worldwide and currently ranked as the No. 1 movie on Netflix globally, My Secret Santa has captured attention far beyond the holiday movie crowd. Along with the festive romance, one question keeps trending online: Where was My Secret Santa filmed?

The answer is Sun Peaks, British Columbia, Canada, and yes, it’s a real place.

A Real Mountain Resort, Not a Movie Set

Despite some playful speculation online, Sun Peaks is not a Hallmark-style fever dream or a purpose-built movie set. It’s a four-season mountain resort in the Thompson Okanagan, known for its walkable village, snow-covered peaks and winter atmosphere that feels effortlessly cinematic.

More Than a Movie Location

Sun Peaks is more than a film backdrop. Visitors come for skiing and snowboarding in winter, and for mountain biking and golfing during the warmer months. With a charming village and year-round adventures, it’s a destination worth experiencing long after the credits roll.

Stay Where the Movie Was Filmed

The Sun Peaks Grand Hotel plays a starring role in My Secret Santa, serving as one of the film’s most recognizable locations.

The Sun Peaks Grand Hotel offers exclusive packages designed to help guests make the most of their stay, whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family vacation or a winter adventure.
