Taylor Swift<\/strong> and Travis Kelce<\/strong>‘s romance isn’t the only “Love Story” to come from Chiefs Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Perhaps taking inspiration from the famous couple, Hallmark Channel has teamed up with the NFL for a new Christmas film, titled Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While the movie is not about Taylor and Travis, it will be filmed entirely in Kansas City, Missouri, and include scenes shot at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n

The film follows Kansas City Chiefs superfan Alana Higman, played by Hunter King<\/strong>, and her family as they are the frontrunners to win the team’s Fan of the Year contest. The Chiefs’ director of Fan Engagement, Derrick, played by Tyler Hynes<\/strong>, is tasked to see how well Alana’s family stacks up against the other finalists, and “Sparks Fly” between the two of them. However, things take a turn when Alana’s grandfather’s vintage Chiefs good luck hat goes missing.<\/p>\n

According to a press release, “Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick \u2013 unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary.”<\/p>\n

The film is slated to release as part of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas programming later in 2024. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“With Hallmark and the Kansas City Chiefs both homegrown, rooted in values, tradition and community, there is a special alchemy between these two iconic organizations,” Darren Abbott<\/strong>, Hallmark’s chief brand officer, said. “By blending the warmth of Hallmark storytelling with the excitement of professional football, we are thrilled to give audiences a front-row seat to this community’s spirit, rich traditions, and passionate fans that define Kansas City, all wrapped up in the comforting and uplifting Hallmark way.”
