Chiefs, Hallmark Partner for 'Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story' Movie
June 25, 2024
The relationship between Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce continues to be the gift that keeps on giving to everyone in their orbit.
The Chiefs announced Tuesday they're working with the NFL and Hallmark Media on Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, a made-for-television movie that will air on Hallmark Channel.
"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," Hallmark chief brand officer Darren Abbott 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."
Unfortunately for Swifties, this won't be a dramatic retelling of Swift and Kelce's budding romance. It will instead follow a woman who comes from a family of die-hard Chiefs fans and a fictional employee of the team who's helping to judge a "Fan of the Year" contest.
Production will get underway in July in Kansas City, Missouri, and the movie will air in the winter during Hallmark Channel's annual Countdown to Christmas celebration.
