Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story is hitting the small screen. The Hallmark Channel announced in June 2024 that it was creating a holiday movie seemingly based on the pop star and Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s popular romance, appropriately (and adorably) titled Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
The network is wasting no time getting the film into production, so many details about the cast and more have already been revealed.
WHERE IS ‘HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A CHIEFS LOVE STORY’ BEING FILMED?
Since the movie centers around the Kansas City Chiefs, it only makes sense to film Holiday Touchdown entirely in Kansas City, Missouri. The holiday flick is expected to feature scenes at the famous GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, where Taylor and Travis’ love story first began. Production will reportedly begin in August 2024.
WHAT IS ‘HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A CHIEFS LOVE STORY’ ABOUT?
Holiday Touchdown stars Hunter King as Alana Higman, who is “sure that her family’s lifelong history as a Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team’s ‘Fan of the Year’ contest,” according to Hallmark’s press release.
Meanwhile, Tyler Hines plays Derrick, the team’s director of fan engagement, who 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 grandfather’s (Ed 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 synopsis reads.
