Even with Super Bowl victories and sold-out stadiums, both Swifties and Chiefs fans are in for a treat as America’s sweethearts Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s budding romance inspires an upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie.
Hallmark Media has announced a partnership with the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs and Skydance Sports to create an original film titled “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.”

The movie will follow the fictional life of Alana Higman and her Chiefs-obsessed family as they vie for the title of “Fan of the Year.” Amidst the competition, a romance blossoms between Alana and a Chiefs employee evaluating the finalists.
As their bond deepens, Alana and Derrick face challenges when her grandfather’s lucky Chiefs heirloom goes missing, prompting her to question their future — unless some Christmas magic intervenes.
Production is set to start next month, with filming taking place in Kansas City, Missouri, and featuring scenes at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, known as the loudest stadium in the world.

The movie is expected to premiere during the winter holiday season as part of Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” event. Chiefs President Mark Donovan expressed excitement about partnering with Hallmark to showcase Chiefs Kingdom’s energy and traditions to a broader audience.
