As a die-hard fan of heartwarming Hallmark Christmas movies, I must say that this year’s offering, “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” has me absolutely thrilled! The fact that it features some of my favorite Kansas City Chiefs players like Trey Smith and Mecole Hardman Jr., their coach Andy Reid, and the legendary Travis Kelce’s mom Donna Kelce, is just the cherry on top.
In 2024, a Christmas movie titled “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” is set to air on TV, featuring a cast of Kansas City Chiefs players Trey Smith, Mecole Hardman Jr., their coach Andy Reid, and Travis Kelce’s mother Donna Kelce. This group is stepping into the world of Hallmark movies alongside experienced actors Tyler Hynes and Hunter King. Now, Hynes has shared how he went out of his way to make Kelce and others feel more comfortable while they worked on this joyful holiday production.
During the anticipation for viewers to watch the Hallmark Christmas movie focusing on the Kansas City Chiefs, titled Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, its leading actor, Tyler Hynes, shared with People about his co-stars. Regarding Donna Kelce particularly, the actor mentioned that she was “a bit taken aback,” which indeed seemed logical as he elaborated on the reason.
Donna found herself feeling rather swamped. There’s an abundance of things to handle, and many people are involved. It’s complex with numerous components in motion, and there are constant interruptions from various conversations. It’s almost as if we’re producing a film amidst a circus, making it challenging for newcomers because they can sense the intensity, even if they can’t explicitly express it. You can easily notice people appearing somewhat overwhelmed.
Indeed, there’s a lot happening with the forthcoming Hallmark movie. The plot revolves around a dedicated Chiefs supporter named King, who finds herself participating in a fan of the year competition. This is how she encounters the director of fan relations, Hynes, which marks the start of a charming holiday-themed romance.
1) The movie was shot in Kansas City and the famous Arrowhead Stadium during the same year the team clinched the Super Bowl. Moreover, it’s undeniable that the team has its own heartwarming real-life love story due to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Given this context, I can understand why Hynes referred to the film as a “circus.
Yet, the “Three Wise Men and a Baby” crew displays a charming approach to assisting novice performers, alleviating their feelings of being overwhelmed on set. As Donna Kelce expressed her sense of being overwhelmed, Hynes shared his method for aiding new actors, discussing it as:
Occasionally, I have an action I perform. I shouldn’t reveal this secret, but when someone is new on the set, I deliberately mess up my lines at first, just to establish a certain atmosphere and keep expectations low. I always tell these newcomers that the only difference between us is that I don’t mind making mistakes with my lines. I simply ask for another one. This kind of embarrassment or pressure is something I believe we should try to overcome. Everyone here is on your side, and nobody really cares if you make a mistake.
The swift manner in which the star of “It Was Always You” puts his co-actors at ease is commendable. If I were in the shoes of Donna Kelce or Trey Smith, who admitted feeling apprehensive during filming, I’d undoubtedly harbor some anxiety about joining a production such as this. Yet, knowing that the atmosphere is relaxed, mistakes are acceptable, and everyone is there to support one another would certainly help alleviate those nerves.
I’m really looking forward to watching Hynes and Kelce, particularly Kelce in his role as a restaurant manager, on screen together! Since we’ve heard they’ve developed a friendship through tales like this one and Donna Kelce’s story of her encouraging Hynes and Hunter King to write notes for Travis Kelce, I have high hopes that their positive vibes will be reflected in the movie.
Great news! You won’t have to wait much longer to catch Mama Kelce on TV alongside Tyler Hynes and the rest of the cast. The movie “Holiday Touchdown” is premiering on Hallmark tonight, November 30, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
