How to watch the extended version of Hallmark's ‘Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story’ tonight without cable
Hallmark and the NFL have teamed up to bring a whirlwind football romance your way!
Romance and football fans are getting a real gift this weekend from Hallmark Channel, airing the extended edition of their new Christmas movie, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. Starring Hunter King and Tyler Hynes, the NFL-produced Hallmark film follows the team’s biggest fan as she competes with her family to win the Chiefs’ biggest fan competition and falls for the team’s director of fan engagement along the way. This Christmas movie is not inspired by Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift (unlike this season's Lifetime Original). However, Kelce’s mother, Donna, does play a role in the film.

What is Holiday Touchdown about?

Is Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?
