The state of Connecticut has made a trail, highlighting the different areas and locations where the movies were filmed.
In the past 10 years, 22 holiday movies have been filmed in Connecticut.
"$58 million has been spent behind the making of holiday movies alone, that's $58 million," said George Norfleet, executive director of Connecticut's office of Film, TV & Digital Media.
The launch was announced during a festive day at the historic Silas W. Robbins House in Wethersfield, Connecticut.
A total of 12 contest winners attended the exciting announcement of the movie trail - and one of the winners also won the opportunity to be an extra in the next holiday movie to be filmed in the state.
"I love it! So, I will watch anything Erin ever does, she did pull my name out," said Whitney Longworth, of New Canaan.
The trail has stops from the corner of the state through the center - by the shoreline all the way down to Greenwich.
