HELEN — A Georgia State Park is prominantly featured in a Lifetime Christmas movie set to premier Dec. 21.
Unicoi State Park & Lodge is decking its halls for a special screening of Lifetime Movie Network’s romantic holiday movie, “Christmas Love Letter,” which filmed scenes at the North Georgia property back in April.
Airing on Lifetime, the film is set in the charming Alpine-Bavarian city of Helen and features Unicoi State Park & Lodge as the backdrop for holiday festivities, such as a gingerbread house competition and a formal holiday party. Visitors and locals can visit the lodge and watch the film in the Lodge’s ballroom on its premier night, Dec. 21 at 6 p.m.
Produced by Sunshine Films, the movie follows the story of a relationship advice columnist who, after receiving an unsigned love letter in a Christmas card, returns to her hometown of Helen to find the writer.
“We’re excited to show our hospitality onscreen and share our holiday spirit with Lifetime viewers across the country,” said Bill Mish, general manager of Unicoi State Park & Lodge. “Helen is a magical place to celebrate the holidays, and we’re proud to support the family-friendly destination by offering comfortable accommodations and a free shuttle service to downtown Helen for visitors.”
In addition to the special screening that evening, Unicoi State Park & Lodge is hosting a festive “Dr. Seuss Whoville Christmas” event from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Families can eat, drink and be merry with an intimate reading of the Dr. Seuss classic, “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” themed crafts, face painting, a Whoville Feast at the Unicoi Restaurant and a visit from Santa to hear the wishes of each guest.
