Hallmark Channel is actually making a Chiefs-themed Christmas movie
Just in case you didn’t have enough of the Kansas City Chiefs in your life, the Hallmark Channel will bring the team to your holiday programming with a new Christmas film.
Oh yes, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story will begin production next month in Kansas City and will give the Hallmark Christmas movie an NFL spin.
Tyler Hynes, Hunter King and Ed Begley Jr. are billed as stars for the new Hallmark Christmas project, slated to be the first Hallmark film to ever shoot at the Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium.
Per a release, the plot for the film sounds, well, exactly how you figure it might.
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 Jr.) 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.
There’s no word if Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelce will make cameo appearances in the film, but the release says we should get the movie holiday season on Hallmark Channel.
