Posted by

Our favorite Nordic romantic comedy is back for season three. Home for Christmas was primarily filmed in the picturesque town of Røros, with additional scenes shot in Oslo, Norway’s capital.

Where was Home for Christmas filmed

The series follows Johanne, played by Elise Broch, navigating love, career ambitions, and the pressure to have a partner and children.

Here is our spoiler-free guide to the filming locations of Home for Christmas.

The real Home for Christmas town

Home for Christmas Town
The producers were looking for a place with snow and cold. Røros was chosen as the location for the show because this town of 5,581 inhabitants has one of the nicest shopping streets in the country (Kjerkgata street).

Also, because the pastel-colored houses match the footage shot in Kampen, Oslo’s 19th-century wooden village.

Røros Home for Christmas
Although Røros is located up north in the Trøndelag county, at almost five hours drive from Oslo, the village is very well connected with the city thanks to the Widerøe airline daily flights.

You can fly up to the Røros airport in the morning and come back to Oslo in the evening.

This hit series also received its share of criticism in Norway. The show hides the real village where it is filmed.

Can you see what is missing in the image above? The bell tower of the iconic old Røros church was removed from all the scenes.

So even a small production like this one uses digital effects to accommodate the show's requirements.

The Home for Christmas house

Johanne's pink house is located at Normannsgata 21B in the Kampen neighborhood of Oslo.

According to the Norwegian website 730.no, this charming detached house built in 1889 with parking space and garden is on sale for a little more than six million and a half kroner.

At the current exchange rate, this is about US$784,000. Not bad for a 51 square meters (548 square foot) one-bedroom home.

The ad states that the cabin has a cold attic with the possibility to raise the ceiling in the living room to make a loft.
