I'll be the first to admit that one of Hallmark’s most anticipated Christmas flicks, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, didn’t make my list of Countdown to Christmas movies I was most excited for.

As Hunter King continues her transition from The Young and the Restless’ Summer to Hallmark Channel starlet, her latest Christmas film Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story may just be her biggest yet.

A Chiefs Love Story,” premiered on Nov. 30, 2024, and will re-air several times throughout the holiday season.

A Chiefs Love Story' was more than a movie as the film embraced everything Kansas City. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid appeared in front of the media on Monday for his weekly Zoom press conference to reflect on his experience in the holiday movie.

However, the Three Wise Men and a Baby star has a sweet way of helping the newer performers and making them feel less overwhelmed on set. After speaking about Donna Kelce feeling a bit “overwhelmed,” Hynes explained his strategy for supporting new actors, saying:

A Chiefs Love Story is easily the most anticipated film in Hallmark’s lineup this holiday season. Hunter King tackles the role of Alana Higman, who is trying to win the Kansas City Chiefs “Fan of the Year” contest with her family.

Holiday...touchdown? Yes, those are the depths we are willing to reach as a culture for content. I am not alone in this race to the bottom, as Hallmark beat me

Kansas City Chiefs fans and Hallmark movie lovers alike are in for a treat this Thanksgiving weekend. “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” premieres on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024 (11/30/24) at 8 p.m. ET on the Hallmark Channel.

Not really. While the movie features the Kansas City Chiefs — Travis Kelce’s team — and taps into the female-dominated audience of Hallmark movie fans — like Swifties — “Holiday Touchdown” does not directly reference Kelce and Swift’s romance.
