Sometimes life imitates art.

Mark Klaus stood back and smiled Dec. 15 as a Hollywood film crew scurried about his Castle Noel.

The Medina museum dedicated to all things Christmas and holiday film memorabilia is the setting for the final Christmas Eve scenes of a movie being filmed in northern Ohio.

And like any good romantic Christmas movie, the filming inside Castle Noel involves a climactic kiss involving an architect turned chocolatier and a chiropractor.

The Christmas storyline revolves around a perfectionist chiropractor who hunts for the sender of an anonymous luxury chocolate treat and instead finds love along the way.
