HBO Max’s 12 Dates Of Christmas is all about the holidays, but the fans have been wondering: when was the show actually filmed? This brand-new dating competition from showrunner Sam Dean (Love Is Blind) is breaking the norms of reality TV and embracing the tropes of romantic comedies in what turns out to be a binge-worthy series that leaves the fans always asking for more. The show has three leads: 28-year-old Chad Savage, who is a straight man; 25-year-old Faith Fernandez, who is a straight woman; and 29-year-old Garrett Marcantel, who is a gay man.
Over the course of 12 Dates Of Christmas season 1, the show introduced Chad, Faith, and Garrett to several “love interests,” in the hopes that each of the leads would pick one of those contestants to spend the holidays with. On a surface level, this seemed like a pretty low-stakes decision to be made. However, things weren’t that simple. For instance, Garrett had never brought anyone home to meet his family, and Chad and Faith expressed similar concerns about making sure that they were bringing the right person to meet their families.
But one thing wasn’t clear on 12 Dates Of Christmas: was the season actually filmed during the holidays? The Austrian snow and the over-the-top decorations inside the mansion sure made it seem that way, but according to Oprah Magazine, that was not the case. Instead, this HBO Max original series was reportedly filmed between February and March of 2020. On one hand, this means that the season was able to wrap up filming prior to the COVID-19 shutdowns. On the other hand, this also means that the contestants weren’t being picked to spend the holidays with the leads. Nonetheless, this is a very small concern considering that most of the nerves surrounding the leads’ decision-making had to do with bringing a new person home to meet their parents.
At the end of the day, 12 Dates Of Christmas was more about bringing in popular rom-com tropes – such as over-the-top dates and falling in love at first sight – into the world of dating competitions. And if anyone was unsure about whether or not this format could work, those doubts were quickly put to bed as the show progressed and turned out to be a binge-worthy holiday fantasy of love.
The fans hope that 12 Dates Of Christmas gets renewed for a second season. And who knows? Maybe a love interest could become a lead in the sequel.
