About the film: Christmas at the Holly Hotel is a new film made on location at the Historic Holly Hotel in Holly, Michigan.
Synopsis: When Kathy’s parents, the owners of Michigan’s Historic Holly Hotel, ask her to return for Christmas, her perfectly planned future becomes a little less clear. She reconnects with family, finds the career that she truly enjoys, and falls in love with a handsome and kind police officer.
About the Holly Hotel: In 1863, railroads transformed the city of Holly into a hub of travel and industry. What began as The Washington House soon evolved into The Holly Hotel, a restaurant, meeting house, and place of lodging. Read more about the history of the hotel here. The Holly Hotel was damaged by fire in June 2022.
The Streets of Old Detroit is an original Detroit Historical Museum exhibit, built in 1951 and featuring storefronts salvaged from a commercial district that was lost when the Lodge Freeway was constructed. The Streets of Old Detroit were damaged by flood in June 2021.
