Where it was filmed '10 giorni con Babbo Natale'

Carlo (Fabio De Luigi) is a stay-at-home dad who has decided to take care of the children to support his wife Giulia’s (Valentina Lodovini) career. The couple, however, is destined for conflict: while he has an interview at the Hotel Mediterraneo, an art deco structure in viale Cavour in the heart of Rome, the family’s home town, she is competing for a promotion that could take her to Sweden. Without losing his presence of mind, Carlo recovers his old camper van and packs up the family to spend Christmas in Northern Europe. They travel from the chaos of the capital to the snow-covered landscape of Alto Adige where the production shot on Dobbiaco lake and in other picturesque areas including Varna where a service station became a Norwegian restaurant and several places in Val Pusteria such as Villabassa, the woods and roads between Dobbiaco and Carbonin, a small private church on lake Braies and the Castle of Monguelfo.

Although the trip to the North Pole actually included Helsinki, some of the scenes set in Finland were shot in Italian locations: Alto Adige not only represented itself and several places in Austria, it also served as several Northern European territories. These included scenes on the romantic road near Neuschwanstein in the Black Forest, in a Danish service station, a Finnish wood and the fairy-tale house of Father Christmas in Lapland.
