“The Wonder Years” star Danica McKellar begins filming 14th Christmas movie in Paris, Kentucky

Actor Danica McKellar, best known for her role on “The Wonder Years,” is filming her 14th Christmas movie in Paris, Kentucky, LEX18 reported Monday. The production is taking place in Bourbon County as the cast and crew assemble for what the outlet described as another holiday release for Great American Family.

LEX18 said McKellar began filming in Kentucky for the movie, which is scheduled to premiere on Great American Family on Nov. 29. The outlet’s report tied the Kentucky shoot to the network’s annual Christmas programming slate, placing the project’s public release later this year.

The report noted that McKellar is filming in Paris, a city in Bourbon County, identifying the local area as the setting for the movie’s production. While the LEX18 item focused on the Kentucky filming location and the announced premiere date, it did not describe specific filming sites, scenes, or the length of the shoot schedule.

The Christmas film is also described by LEX18 as McKellar’s 14th in the holiday movie franchise, underscoring the scale of her ongoing work in the seasonal film space. The report did not provide additional plot details, but it indicated that the project is part of the Great American Family lineup with a defined release date on the network.

Great American Family, a television network that carries holiday programming, is set to host the Nov. 29 premiere, according to LEX18. The outlet’s report did not specify whether the premiere will be a single-day event, whether it will be accompanied by additional episodes, or whether there will be any alternative viewing platforms alongside the network broadcast.

For local residents, the production activity can affect day-to-day life in the filming area through common film-production impacts such as road closures, parking changes, and traffic control, though LEX18 did not provide any specific schedules or instructions for motorists. Kentucky filming releases and local production notices typically come through city and county channels or through temporary signage near work zones.

As the production continues, additional details about the film, including cast additions, specific locations within Paris and Bourbon County, and any public-facing community involvement, would be expected to be released closer to the premiere. The next confirmed milestone in the LEX18 report is the scheduled Nov. 29 debut on Great American Family.

If you are a local viewer planning around the release, the most immediate date to note from the LEX18 report is the Nov. 29 premiere. Until then, any changes to filming timelines or additional Kentucky involvement would likely be communicated through production and local coordination updates, rather than through a broad public announcement.
