Everyone knows how much I love the Kansas City Chiefs. I was beyond excited when I heard that Hallmark was going to feature a Kansas City Chiefs-themed holiday movie. The film is Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
In Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, Alana (Hunter 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 (Tyler Hynes), director of fan engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against two other finalists. As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them. But when her grandfather’s (Ed Begley Jr.) vintage Chiefs good luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, and destiny and even questions her future with Derrick—unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary.
Both the Chiefs and Hallmark’s headquarters are located in Kansas City, Mo.—just a short drive apart. Proximity aside, Taylor Swift’s relationship with the team’s tight end surely influenced the partnership too.
Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story will premiere on Nov. 30 on Hallmark Channel. It will be available to stream on Hallmark+ with a valid subscription.
The two iconic Kansas City-based brands plan to have unique co-branded merchandise as well as game-day activations and more.
To celebrate the uniquely local partnership, Kansas City’s downtown skyline was lit purple and red on the day the collaboration was announced.
Hallmark Channel and the Kansas City Chiefs will also have some in-stadium festivities that will unite crowds and enhance their game-day experience to bring the spirit, joy, and warmth of Hallmark’s iconic Christmas movies to life. Including custom Hallmark Channel holiday branded LED screen animations, activations, giveaways, and more including:
