All you need to know about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Inspired Kansas City Chiefs-themed Hallmark Christmas movie: Plus, a Shocking New Twist!

Kansas City’s homegrown relationship between Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and superstar Taylor Swift could have been modeled after a rom-com for the ages. Now, a Hallmark Christmas movie set to premiere later this year appears to have taken some notes from their relationship.

The Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs already played a central role in the world’s most publicized relationship saga of the past year. Now, the team is getting its very own Hallmark Channel Christmas movie.

On Tuesday, the NFL team announced that they are partnering with Hallmark — which is also based in Kansas City — to produce “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” starring Tyler Hynes, Hunter King and Ed Begley, Jr.

The film is set to begin production in July, and Kansas City will be on full display: It will be shot exclusively on the Missouri side of the metro, including at Arrowhead Stadium.

“This partnership unites two passionate fanbases and gives us an opportunity to show Chiefs Kingdom’s energy and tradition on one of the most-watched channels during the holiday season,” said Chiefs president Mark Donovan in a press release.

Anyone who’s been following the saga of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might be connecting some dots right about now. But unfortunately, the plot is not about a record-breaking, award-winning pop star who fell in love with an amicable podcast-hosting tight-end after he attended her concert, hoping to give her a homemade friendship bracelet.

here’s what we know about the story so far:

“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 grandfather’s (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.”

All of the buzz around the relationship brought renewed worldwide attention to Kansas City, and even more attention to the Chiefs, who won their second Super Bowl in a row in February. Local stores sold out of custom Swelce-themed merchandise. Ticket sales for all Chiefs home games tripled for the rest of the 2023-2024 season.

The superstar lovers even inspired an earlier spoof of a football romcom — perhaps a preview of what’s to come — with a trailer for the fake movie “Falling for Football.” That trailer also starred Hynes, who is billed to lead Hallmark’s real movie.
