If you’ve ever seen the (somewhat sombre) Disney holiday classic “One Magic Christmas”, you’ve had a look at Meaford at Christmas. While the film, which stars Mary Steenburgen and Harry Dean Stanton, was filmed in February, back in 1985, locations in snowy Meaford created scenes of Christmas.

Steenburgen’s character, Ginny, works in the downtown grocery store, which was known as Glen’s Food Market at the time. The (spoiler alert!) bank that’s robbed is the Bank of Montreal, kitty corner to Glen’s at Trowbridge and Sykes. And when the stolen car peels away, it speeds up Trowbridge to turn at Cook Street. You can see the Hilltop Motel sign a couple of times in one driving scene. And Meaford Hall, at the time the town hall, makes an appearance.

Here’s the Disney Channel trailer:

But Meaford scenes appear more in this mock “horror” trailer, including the first crane shot of downtown.
