Surprise! Donna Kelce has been cast in Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
The surprise announcement came Saturday in a sweet Instagram video alongside Hunter King and Tyler Hynes, who are set to star in the film. King and Hynes introduced themselves in the short video before stepping aside to reveal Donna standing behind them.
“Hi, I’m Donna Kelce and I’m in Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” she said.
King and Hynes cheered and clapped after helping Donna reveal the surprise announcement.
It was just last month when Hallmark Media and the Kansas City Chiefs announced they’re teaming up on the new holiday movie set around the football field. In collaboration with Skydance Sports, Hallmark and the Kansas City Chief’s upcoming TV project — which is slated to air during Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas — will pay full homage to the Chiefs as it will only film in Kansas City, including on the field at Arrowhead Stadium, which has never been featured before in a Hallmark movie.
Hynes, King, and Ed Begley Jr. are set to star in the project with King playing Alana Higman, who is a finalist with her family in the team’s “Fan of the Year” contest. Derrick (Hynes), who is the director of fan engagement, is tasked with evaluating the three finalists and sparks fly as he spends time with Alana. However, conflict strikes when a lucky vintage Chiefs winter hat belonging to her grandfather (Begley Jr.) 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’s synopsis reads.
