Shooting winter scenes in the heat of summer is not as challenging as you might think for filmmaker Kevin Sullivan.  In fact, A Wind at My Back Christmas, which contained scenes with a lot of snow, was actually filmed in late summer, early fall.  Here is a direct explanation from Kevin himself as to how he has managed to convincingly portray the season in a number of different productions, including Wind at My Back, Road to Avonlea and other films.

Surviving winter in small Canadian towns during the Depression (and even now) could be times of both hardship and celebration.  A Wind at My Back Christmas demonstrates this, especially when we see the town coming together outdoors in the cold on Christmas Eve to sing carols together.
