The movie takes place in Portland, Oregon, just before Christmas but it was shot in Ontario, Canada. However, it was clearly shot in the late summer / early autumn. Production tried to hide it with artificial snow used on trees and bushes in the close shots. However there are multiply wide shots which reveal it's not the mid of December. In the downtown Christmas tree light up, Christmas trees lot, and in the front of Nick's house, you can see a lot of green deciduous trees, and bushes. Furthermore, cast and extras didn't wear a proper winter clothes either as it was warm.
