That house was a stage set built specifically for the movie. In fact both houses were built for the movie. The computers that controlled the house were in the other house where they could watch the program in action. There is some great bonus features about all this on the DVD.
They even built a dome over the two houses so they could film the night scenes during the day.

The movie was originally entitled Wreck the Halls, it was shot in Cloverdale, British Columbia and other locations throughout Metro Vancouver.


I've got a comedy Christmas song called "Wreck the Halls", used it in my Christmas Display in 2010. Don't think the song or that title would have actually fit the movie quite as well as what they changed it to: "Deck the Halls". Not really sure that was a good title for it either though. LOL

More like "How to annoy your neighbor during Christmas".:D

Am I a total geek because as I watched the show I was trying to figure out how many channels, DMX, ect, it was taking to create the effects they did in the show? :dude:

Does the extra on the DVD go into how many lights, channels, DMX, ect they used to create the effects?

I only saw it on one of the movie channels commercial free. So I guess I need to go find and buy the DVD too to see what all the extra goodies are about in the making of the movie.

Are not referring to Wreck the Malls?


You're going to love this, that IS the song, but on the CD I have, it has "Wreck the Halls" as the title of the song, not Malls!

Looks like a misprint that made its way out the door. I know it's by Bob Rivers, but on the CD I have, it's a collection of Comedy Christmas songs. And when I ripped it from that CD, that is the title it gave it as well.

I always thought it was strange to be called "Wreck the Halls", when they were singing "Wreck the Malls" and I never knew that was the "correct" title of the song.

For the last, oh, 5 or more years I think, I've always known the song as "Wreck the Halls"! Even the sequence I have for it has Wreck the Halls as the name for it. I had no idea of the other, correct name of the song.

Learned something new I really didn't know.

Thanks for bringing this up Steven.
