Marguerite Henry, the film's executive producer, told The Examiner in an email on Friday that the filmmakers"wanted to add legitimacy to" the romantic leads'"story and give some love to San Francisco with a company people recognize."

But nobody approaches the genre like the Hallmark Channel, which is the unquestioned industry leader in fireplace fare."A Big Fat Family Christmas" is one of 40 holiday films Hallmark Media will air on its two cable networks, and the movies began airing more than a month before Thanksgiving on Oct. 21.
Although principal photography — including shots of the Chronicle's newsroom in the movie — took place in Vancouver, Henry said the production's second unit spent two days in The City. She also mentioned Tideline Marine Group, Canton Bazaar, Far East Cafe and Disher Sound among the local businesses that aided in the film's production.
