One of the most anticipated Christmas movies this holiday season is Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story starring Young and The Restless alum Hunter King, along with Tyler Hynes. This is the big Hallmark Countdown To Christmas movie that is in collaboration with the Kansas City Chiefs football team. Moreover, this is the network’s hometown, as well as the home of the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift romance. Best of all, this movie has a cornucopia of Chiefs players, Andy Reid, and even Donna Kelce, Travis’s mom!

However, they filmed this movie at Arrowhead Stadium during the midst of summer. That means triple digits in a stylishly warm wardrobe put together by Hallmark’s incredible costume designer, Keith Nielsen. How did The Professional Bridesmaid star survive?

How Does Hunter King Keep Cool Filming A Hallmark Movie?

Hunter King is starring alongside Tyler Hynes in the upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. While fans will be watching this movie in their warm and cozy PJs and sipping on hot cocoa, filming this holiday movie in the extreme July heat was no easy thing.

Speaking to TV Insider, the Y&R alum admitted it was a challenge because “there’s a lot of knit. Sweaters, a lot of coats.” Football is played outside in the cold Kansas City weather. She can’t exactly wear a tank top. However, she did share secrets of how she tries to keep cool despite always needing the room to be cold.

So I am in the trenches over there just sweating and they’re like ‘It’s cold, remember?’ as the bead of sweat rolls down! So sometimes you take an ice pack and you put it in your pants, in the waist of your pants. And then there are these little fans that you can clip to your waistband that blow air up and that really does help. But again, you’re on your own once they start rolling and you’re just back to just sweating and immediately, it’s fans and waters and everything. But we’re making the best of it!
