Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story Features Donna Kelce in Guest Role
Sep
Get ready for some festive football magic as Hallmark Channel brings Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story to its holiday lineup. Premiering November 30 at 8 p.m. ET as part of Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” event, the movie is set to charm both holiday and Kansas City Chiefs fans alike.
Starring Hunter King (The Young and the Restless) and Tyler Hynes (Letterkenny), the romantic comedy follows Alana Higman (King), a devoted Chiefs fan vying for the title of “Fan of the Year,” and Derrick (Hynes), the team’s director of fan engagement, who is tasked with deciding the winner. As the two spend more time together, sparks fly—but when Alana’s grandfather’s lucky Chiefs hat goes missing, she questions fate, destiny, and her budding romance with Derrick.
In a delightful twist, Donna Kelce, the mother of Chiefs star Travis Kelce (and Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend), makes a guest appearance, adding some extra holiday cheer. Hallmark has partnered with the Kansas City Chiefs for this movie, with cameos from head coach Andy Reid, several Chiefs players, and even Today co-host Jenna Bush Hager. The film also includes appearances by Diedrich Bader, Megyn Price, and Christine Ebersole.
The festive atmosphere extends beyond the movie, as Hallmark plans to engage fans at the Chiefs’ stadium with special giveaways, merchandise, and a “Hallmark Star Cam” that assigns fun holiday nicknames to attendees. With holiday romance, Chiefs fandom, and a touch of Christmas magic, Holiday Touchdown is sure to score big with audiences.
Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce has been a major media sensation since it began in September 2023, driving massive interest in Chiefs games and a spike in Kelce’s jersey sales. While rumors and media scrutiny continue, including a recent false report about a breakup contract, the buzz surrounding the couple only adds to the excitement of Holiday Touchdown and Hallmark’s festive football-themed collaboration.
