Netflix's 'Holidate' Was NOT Filmed In Chicago — All Romantic Spots Are In Atlanta

One location was also used for 'Stranger Things,' but it looks so different!
Contributor

Netflix’s hit new rom-com starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey is set in Chicago, but the movie was entirely filmed right here in and around Atlanta.

Holidate is about two singles who are sick of going to holiday parties alone, so they agree to be each other’s platonic plus-ones for holiday occasions throughout the year. 

The movie is currently trending on Netflix’s “Top 10 in the U.S. Today” and is a must-watch for the holiday season.

When you watch Holidate, keep an eye out for these three iconic Atlanta scene locations.

Gwinnett Place Mall

Address: 2100 Pleasant Hill Rd., Duluth, GA

The fictional Lakeview Mall where the couple meets is actually Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth. A large chunk of the movie was filmed in the mall and it appears in several key scenes in the film. Gwinnett Place Mall has acquired some fame recently as it was also transformed into Starcourt Mall for the filming of Stranger Things Season 3.
