The film "A Christmas Story" was actually filmed in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. The story is set in the fictional town of "Hohman," which is based on the real town of Hammond, Indiana, but the movie was filmed entirely in the Cleveland area. The main location is the "Lampkin Park District" neighborhood, which is where the main character's home is located. Other scenes were filmed in various neighborhoods and landmarks around the Cleveland area, such as the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Play House.
