No matter how cheesy the films can be, watching a Hallmark movie (or a marathon, for that matter) is a staple during the holidays. From gift-wrapped romances to wholesome stories, the films hold a cozy spot in many folks’ hearts.

We may be biased, but we think Fort Worth is the perfect backdrop for the next Hallmark Christmas movie. Here are just a few of our favorite features that make it special:

  • A massive tree with thousands of dazzling lights in the city’s center
  • An outdoor ice skating rink that’s situated in the heart of the Stockyards
  • Cozy fireplaces inside and outside the festively decorated Hotel Drover
  • A Cowboy Santa with his own live reindeer
