As with Isitt's Nativity! films, much of Christmas On Mistletoe Farm was shot in the West Midlands,[5] with Matt's office was being located in central Birmingham. Exterior scenes of Cobbledon Village were shot in the Cotswolds, and the farm itself was Fulling Mill Farm in north Oxfordshire.[6] Along with writing and directing, Isitt also worked on the original music for the film alongside her partner, composer Nicky Ager.[1]
