New Hallmark Movie Channels Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce—And It's Packed with Celebs (Including Travis's Mom)

It's a family affair, literally

Hallmark Channel just gave us our first taste of Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, a star-studded, holiday rom-com based (loosely) on the love story of international pop sensation Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. And yes, it's packed with celeb cameos and holiday magic.

The first look trailer, which dropped Wednesday, November 14, introduces us to Alana Higman, played by The Young and the Restless alum Hunter King. Alana's family has been die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fans for generations, and she’s convinced that this is their year to win the coveted “Fan of the Year” award. Enter Derrick (Hallmark fave Tyler Hynes), the Chiefs’ charming Director of Fan Engagement. His job? To assess Alana’s family against two other mega-fan finalists. The twist? There’s a bit of chemistry between Alana and Derrick that’s hard to ignore.

But just when things seem like they might be falling into place, a major hitch arises. Alana’s grandfather’s (Ed Begley Jr.) vintage Chiefs lucky winter hat—the family’s prized possession—mysteriously vanishes. As Alana starts questioning her family’s legacy and the role of destiny in her own love life, Christmas magic seems to hint that there may still be a way to salvage everything. Get ready for high-stakes romance, football-inspired holiday cheer and, of course, the promise of a happy ending.

One of the most exciting cameos? NFL star Travis Kelce’s own mother, Donna Kelce. She plays the no-nonsense manager at local BBQ spot Norma & Nic’s (and, naturally, she’s repping the No. 87 jersey, aka Travis's actual jersey number).

And the guest list doesn’t stop there. Jenna Bush Hager, Diedrich Bader, Christine Ebersole, Megyn Price and even Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid pop in for surprise appearances, along with a few real-life Kansas City Chiefs players.

Mark your calendars: Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story premieres on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, November 30, at 8 p.m. ET.
