The Christmas season is approaching, and Connecticut has become a popular place where many Christmas movies are filmed.
Connecticut just unveiled the first Christmas Movie Trail at Silas W. Robbins House in Wethersfield, which allows movie lovers to experience the towns that are captured in the Christmas films.
The trail will include a guide that shows visitors places to stay, restaurants and attractions that were seen in 22 Christmas movies throughout the state.
Twelve local residents were chosen to attend the event and were able to meet actors from the movies, and one winner was chosen to be an extra for a movie being filmed in Connecticut.
