The Kansas City Chiefs are partnering with Hallmark Media, the NFL and Skydance Sports for a Christmas movie, entitled: “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story”.
The film stars Tyler Hynes, Hunter King and Ed Begley Jr. Production will start in July. Filming will take place throughout Kansas City, Mo., including at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
According to a synopsis for the movie: “Alana Higman — a character played by King — and her family of Chiefs super fans are being evaluated for a “Fan of the Year” contest during the film. Another character named Derrick, played by Hynes, is the director of fan engagement tasked with evaluating Higman and her family members and comparing them to other fans.
“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, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick — unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary,”
