Another member of Chiefs Kingdom is joining the cast of the upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie.
The Hallmark Channel announced Saturday that Donna Kelce, who is the mother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, will appear in “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.”
The movie’s headliners, Hunter King and Tyler Hynes, helped share the news Saturday on Instagram.
“Look who’s joining @hunterking and @tyler_hynes in #HolidayTouchdown: A @Chiefs Love Story! Please welcome America’s football mom @donnakelce to the cast,” the Hallmark Channel wrote. “Don’t miss the world premiere later this year during #CountdownToChristmas.”
Kelce has become a favorite among Chiefs fans as she has attended games the past few years. Ahead of Super Bowl LVII, Kelce captured the hearts of NFL fans everywhere as she cheered for Travis and the Chiefs as well as her other son, Jason, and the Eagles.
The movie, which is being shot in Kansas City, is the latest Hallmark Christmas rom-com. Filming has already started.
Here is the synopsis of the movie: “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.”
Chiefs coach Andy Reid, guard Trey Smith, wide receiver Mecole Hardman, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and defensive end George Karlaftis will also be in the movie.
