We love that Brennan Elliott has already decorated for Christmas! He's definitely Megan's kind of people. Elliott last stared in Christmas in Vienna in 2020.

Was That the Gilmore Girls House?

Wendy thought that the home purchased for Simone might be the Gilmore Girls house located on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles but all signs point to no. First, because the movie was shot in Vancouver. And, two, take a close look. They aren't the same house but they sure do look similar!
