What Is Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story About?

Hallmark’s Countdown To Christmas movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story is the first collaboration between the feel-good network and the NFL. Starring Y&R alum Hunter King and Hallmark Hunk Tyler Hynes, it has the ingredients for a winning romcom.

Hunter portrays Alana Higman. She comes from a multi-generation Kansas City Chiefs-obsessed family. They are such superfans that they are one of three finalists for the team’s Fan Of The Year Contest. Tyler portrays Derrick. He is the Director of Fan Engagement and is tasked with trying to determine who deserves to win this honor. They meet, but the two don’t exactly hit it off. But, as he continues to hang out with the Higman family, Derrick and Alana start to feel something for each other.

Despite their deepening romance, things suddenly go south. That is because Grandpa Higman’s lucky antique Chiefs hat is missing. Now Alana doubts everything. Could Christmas magic save the day?
