Christmas Town.... The movie (not) filmed at West Edmonton Mall? - That BEM Guy

We're all stuck at home, so lets enjoy an out of season 2008 direct-to-video movie that... apparently was filmed at West Edmonton Mall.
Nicole de Boer stars in Christmas Town. A completely dull, boring family movie which originally aired on ABC Family.

So, this is from the "stuck at home" series of videos... so it's a little different. Anyway, hope you don't judge me too harshly on it!

Best Edmonton Mall this is good though I mean I wonder if fresh air still smells nice still

[@sabrinamiller3671]

Things are what they are, man, and I know I definitely appreciate you taking the time to still upload what you can. I hope you and your family stay safe! Btw, as somebody who makes monthly excursions to WEM, I hate being away from my home-away-from-home! ;)

[@BBINGHAM032352]

Don't worry about! I've been hanging out at WEM occasionally since it was first built. I now live just south of Whitemud Drive in Lymburn and I hardly ever go to the mall. Actually the mall is still pretty awesome!

[@ryanlee5112]

Do Zoom calls

[@constoll1717]

Do a video about the mall getting flooded in 2004

[@chantdins]

wait it got flooded?!

[@constoll1717]

@@chantdins it did in summer of 2004 a hail storm in Edmonton caused floods around downtown

[@chantdins]

Oh jeez. From the looks of it it seemed pretty bad, thanks for sharing! I didn’t know that, I was born in 2005 not gonna lie :)

[@constoll1717]

@@chantdins lol I was born in 2008 and I never knew until I saw a history segment on global news a few months ago

Nice Cameo by a sweet looking Street Fighter II cabinet!

[@Agynisus]

I would be interested in things like various boasts of famous guests that visited or odd business collaborations the mall has done or history of specific stores, like if there is a store in phase 1 that has been their since the beginning (unlikely). Heck, I am curious what stores were even in the mall on opening day. Just fun TILs that I would have never learned about the city.

I always love of how the smaller youtube channels have the best content Edit:spelling

[@daniel.909]

Is it weird that the first thing i thought of when this video started is "Man, he must have an awesome entertainment setup."

[@jamesa.soltys5432]

I kept waiting and waiting for the cheesy WEM scene... haha thanks for sparing us all from watching this!

[@TWLIV]

I really quite enjoyed the video - hope we will get to see more like it!

[@aldengushnowski6179]

Good video. Could it be that some of the content filmed at the mall were cut?

[@crystalbrown3728]

That is a good point

[@AlexR2648]

But where could it possibly fit into the story?

[@MATTDALOR1AN]

cool arcade! Basement?

[@stacyanhorn8689]

You're wrong. The back hallways of wem are fascinating! Delve deeper into them.... many crazy stories heard over the years

[@msprinkle]

It looks like it was filmed at Burnaby Village Museum in B.C...where every Hallmark Christmas movie is filmed!

[@sorrowcult]

Looking at it on Google Maps, it totally was.

[@brandoalexander6901]

The movie FUBAR 2 has some scenes in it from WEM if that gives you an idea for a next film

[@sabrinamiller3671]

Voice-actor Garry Chalk played in this?? Wow! He played the grandpa.

@@BestEdmontonMall I think he may have acted in the soap opera days of our lives. But I don’t think he was this creepy. What is his name

[@crystalbrown3728]

Ok found this vedio of him singing at the day time Emmy awards. He played Austin (the first Austin) who is married to carrie Brady. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJnUhIGfeq2dfK8

[@daniellongworth7513]

Fun fact, there was a Hallmark Christmas movie being filmed in the Dr. Wilbert Mcintyre park two or three weeks ago. I believe it was going to be called Christmas Coronation.

[@jonnywx]

Love your videos man! Always cool finding other cool Canadian KZbin channels. I've lived in Calgary all my life, but have family in Edmonton so I'm always up there every so often. Always loved WEM as a kid and how cool everything used to be, and as the years went by and only visiting there every couple years essentially; I've watched and noticed so much disappear that used to be my favourite things about the mall and I always wondered what happened to everything. Now though ever since discovering your channel I've just been binge watching your videos and I have learned about all I used to wonder about and much more too lol! I'm also a big guy for nostalgia, vintage things, and just history for little oddities about things of the past, especially where we live. I had an idea since you said you're unsure about what videos to make and whatnot right now, and I already wanted to ask this anyways hahaha, but I was curious about and would love to see more similar videos of anything interesting you could find about Calgary. This city has changed an insane amount, even just in the 22 years of my life. Would definitely love to learn more about things of the past here that have just been demolished or gotten rid of, or even things that still remain with an interesting story to it. Anyways, sorry for the giant comment! Hope you are doing well with this wild world right now!! Lol

[@uberemo101]

maybe a video about the code red at the super mall???

[@johnnymcnally8335]

love your videos! you bring back so many good memories of the mall! where are you filming your video? are those arcade games yours? id crush you at street fighter 2 lol

[@constoll1717]

If this virus never happened WEM will be as normal but crap happens

[@johnnyauchie]

Keep them coming. All your videos are great. This movie looks terrible though.

[@cainonvandale6685]

Make a video about the disney store or about my fav mall “ midtown plaza saskatoon saskachewan” like if you agree

[@feel65]

I got the last live conment

[@masteryoshi87]

I have a video idea for you. Please talk about the Turbo Ride under the Mind Bender. Please Please Please!!!

[@TheBlake27]

I feel trolled, I just watched this entire thing and am so confused lol, kidding, nothing wrong with trying something else, and yeah I don't see how anything in that movie had to do with the mall lol

[@BestEdmontonMall]

LOL, I mean... you're not wrong. But we were ALL trolled! XD

[@sabrinamiller3671]

Matt, are those video-games in your house? If so, very cool!

[@BestEdmontonMall]

Yes!

[@ryanlee5112]

you should interview Billy Chow about it, he still in Edmonton

[@canadianspurchase30million40]

I actually enjoyed this a lot maybe you should make a channel reviewing terrible movies... I'd subscribe!

[@KevAlberta]

Lol what the heck. Terrible sounding movie
