Nov 22, 2022 · Just like the first A Christmas Story, the movie’s 2022 sequel was partly filmed in Cleveland, Ohio. The city is home to several important landmarks from the original Christmas classic, such as the exterior of the Parker family’s home and Higbee's department store, where two generations of Parker kids visit Santa between the two movies.
The film takes place in a fictional town called Hohman, Indiana. Most exteriors were shot in Toronto. Interior scenes were done on a stage set. But in every sense, Ohio’s Tremont neighborhood is where Ralphie Parker and his family experienced A Christmas Story. 3159 West 11th Street, just south of Clark Avenue, is A Christmas Story House.
