Trivia
Disney Plus instead of Cinema
Filming began in 2017 and the film was originally scheduled for a theatrical release. However, Disney decided to postpone the film and release along with the launch of their streaming platform Disney Plus, in order to give the platform more value.
'Nicole'
The movie was originally named 'Nicole' but as an attempt to ramp up the Christmas theme of the movie, it was changed to 'Noelle'.
Holiday Movie
Anna Kendrick wanted to star the film because she always wanted to be part of a Holiday feature that families would be able to re-watch together over the years.
