It’s a “love story”: Hallmark teams up with the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs’ Christmas movie

Taylor Swift And Travis KelceThe romance is not the only “love story” from Chiefs Kingdom.

Perhaps Hallmark Channel has been inspired by the famous couple and teamed up with the NFL for a new Christmas movie. The title is Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.

Although the film is not about Taylor and Travis, it is shot entirely in Kansas City, Missouri and includes scenes filmed at Arrowhead Stadium.

The film is about Alana Higman, superfan of the Kansas City Chiefs, played by Hunter Kingand her family as they are the favorites for the team’s Fan of the Year contest. Derrick, the Chiefs’ Director of Fan Engagement, played by Tyler Hynesis set to find out how well Alana’s family compares to the other finalists, and sparks fly between the two. However, things take a turn when Alana’s grandfather’s old Chiefs lucky hat goes missing.

According to a press release, “Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate and destiny, and even questions her future with Derrick – unless a little Christmas magic can offer her a final way out one last time.”

The film is scheduled to be released later in 2024 as part of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas program.

“Because Hallmark and the Kansas City Chiefs both come from their own roots and are rooted in values, tradition and community, there is a special alchemy between these two iconic organizations,” Darren AbbottChief Brand Officer of Hallmark, said, “By combining the warmth of Hallmark stories with the excitement of professional football, we are excited to give audiences a front row seat to experience the spirit of this community, the rich traditions and the passionate fans that make Kansas City what it is – all in the comforting and uplifting Hallmark style.”
