The lodge really becomes its own character in the story as it is such a memorable setting for the movie. If you’ve always wanted to experience something similar, then head to the Christmas tree lodge in Kentucky at General Butler State Resort Park. Butler Lodge is beautifully decorated this time of year and its stunning main room is filled with Christmas trees for one festive scene.
