The storybook romance between Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight ends Travis Kelce is now the inspiration for a new holiday movie produced by Hallmark Channel.
In collaboration with the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story is an original movie that will be filmed next month entirely in Kansas City, MO, including the Chiefs' home of Arrowhead Stadium.
While there is no mention of Swift or Kelce in the press release, the Chiefs certainly appear to be capitalizing on the couple's high profile romance, which has touched down in Kansas City, the Super Bowl, and most recently London, for Swift's take over of the city last weekend.
The syopsis reads as: "In Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, Alana Higman (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 (Hynes), Director of Fan Engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two finalists. As the pair spends time together, it's clear there's a spark between them but when her grandfathers (Begley Jr.) vintage Chiefs, good luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick – unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary."
The movie stars Tyler Hynes (Shifting Gears, Three Wise Men and a Baby), Hunter King (Two Scoops Of Italy, The Santa Summit) and Ed Begley Jr. (Young Sheldon, Better Call Saul).
"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," said Darren Abbott, Chief Brand Officer, Hallmark. "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."
While there is no announced air date for Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, it is expected for the upcoming holiday season.
