Two competing publishing editors. One snowstorm. No available flights. A shared rental car from somewhere outside New York to Manhattan. By the time they arrive, the clashing has turned into something else. Amazon MGM Studios filmed the whole thing in the actual city where the story ends – and Paris Hilton showed up on the Upper West Side.
Clashing Through the Snow is directed by Carlson Young, written by Danny Mackey and Rebecca Ewing, and produced by McG and Mary Viola of Wonderland Sound and Vision, Lena Roklin and Bruce Wayne Gillies. Christopher Briney (The Summer I Turned Pretty) plays Ryan Mitchell. Michelle Randolph (Landman) plays Hannah Hendricks. Holiday travel chaos forces them into the same car. They are coworkers. They are rivals. They cannot stand each other. You know where this goes.
The cast includes Lukas Gage, Andrew Schulz, Julia Fox as a rock star, Paris Hilton playing a stylised version of herself, PJ Byrne, comedian Zarna Garg, Roy Shuler and Dee Roscioli. Oscar-winning Ari Sandel executive produces. Shane Hurlbut serves as cinematographer.
Before the Manhattan shoot began, the production headed upstate. In February 2026, a full Christmas display was set up in the middle of the Poughkeepsie Galleria at 2001 South Road in Poughkeepsie – a shopping mall dressed for December in the dead of winter. The Galleria is about 80 miles north of Manhattan, in Dutchess County.

The production filmed in New York City in early 2026. Christopher Briney was spotted filming on set in Washington Square Park on March 9, 2026. The park – with its arch, its fountain, its chess players and its NYU students – is one of the most specifically New York locations the production could have chosen. It is the kind of place where a romantic comedy announces that it is set in the real city, not a studio version of it.
Scenes on a scooter with both Briney and Randolph were shot on East 11th Street in front of Webster Hall – the legendary concert venue between Third and Fourth Avenues that has been a New York nightlife institution since 1886. A night scene with Briney was also filmed on East 11th Street in front of Amsterdam Billiards.
On March 12, photographers captured Briney and Randolph shooting a motorcycle scene in lower Manhattan. Christmas decorations were visible in the background – the production dressing a March street to look like December.
Randolph and Briney were spotted filming at the Ansonia – the Beaux-Arts landmark at 2109 Broadway between West 73rd and West 74th Streets on the Upper West Side. The Ansonia has been a residential hotel, a music venue, a bathhouse and a Manhattan icon since it opened in 1904.
On March 19, filming continued on the Upper West Side. Briney and Randolph were photographed on set. Paris Hilton was spotted in thigh-high boots and animal print. Julia Fox was also part of the shoot.
Clashing Through the Snow premieres on Prime Video on November 23, 2026.

Season 1 filmed across California. Season 2 went to different continents.

The story is set in Traverse City, Michigan – W. Bruce Cameron’s own stomping ground, the town on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay where the novel is rooted. The film was shot in Vancouver, Burnaby and Penticton, British Columbia. But Cameron was not about to let Traverse City disappear entirely from the screen.
