This building served as the Community Radio Station 87.9 XMAS. It is seen many times in the movie. The radio station is operated by Thomas Reynolds and his two children Sarah and Carter. It is in front of this location that Carter wishes for the end of the Christmas Spirit. It is also from this location that Sarah sings live-to-air, and effectively restores the Christmas Spirit to this happy town
In this scene, we see the four Santa Pups standing on the sidewalk, in front of the radio station:
And here we see Sarah Reynolds in the upper window of the radio station:
In this scene, the Mayor of Pineville is seen walking away after speaking with Sarah and Mrs. Clause:

A plot summary of Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups
When Mrs. Claus travels to Pineville, the playful Santa Pups stow away on her sled. Taking mischief to a whole new level, they begin granting joyful wishes to Pineville's boys and girls, but after a furious young boy named Carter wishes for the Christmas spirit to disappear, it affects all of the people in town. Mrs. Claus, Carter, Sarah, the pups, and three sisters named Agnes, Dorothy and Blue that Mrs. Claus met try to bring the Christmas spirit back forever. They do this by airing on the radio and convincing everyone to act like normal. Carter wishes for the Christmas spirit to last forever all over the world. The pups are then able to reverse the wish. Pineville was filmed in Fernie, British Columbia. (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Paws_2:_The_Santa_Pups).
