Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story also stars Hunter King and Tyler Hynes. They linked up with Donna to share the news on the Hallmark Channel’s Instagram account on Saturday (July 14).
“Please welcome America’s football mom [Donna Kelce] to the cast,” they wrote in the caption.
The movie will premiere later this year and is filming on location in Kansas City, Missouri.
Here’s the synopsis: In Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, Alana Higman (King) is sure that her family’s lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team’s “Fan of the Year” contest. Derrick (Hynes), Director of Fan Engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two finalists. As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them but when her grandfathers (Begley) vintage Chiefs, good luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick – unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary.
Hunter and Tyler joined the project earlier this summer. It marks an official partnership between Hallmark Channel and the NFL.
The costars wore Chiefs colors while attending the 2024 ESPYs to promote the movie.
