Donna Kelce Helps Bring the ‘Christmas Magic’ as She Makes Acting Debut in Holiday Touchdown: See the Trailer!
Donna Kelce is taking on the small screen!
A glimpse at the NFL mom’s acting debut is featured in the all-new trailer for Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, which is set to premiere on the Hallmark Channel on Nov. 30.
Kelce joined the co-hosts of the Today show — including Jenna Bush Hager, who also appears in the TV movie — on Nov. 14 to reveal a first look at the upcoming Hallmark film. “Ladies and gentlemen, please turn your attention to midfield!” Bush Hager, 42, kicked off the preview by saying.
The Hallmark Channel teamed up with the NFL to create the movie, which follows a love story between the Chief’s director of fan engagement (Tyler Hynes) and one of the team’s superfans (Hunter King). Kelce plays the manager of a barbeque restaurant, who can be seen offering advice in the trailer.
King and Hynes recently sat down with PEOPLE to discuss Kelce’s first acting role, gushing over her warm presence on set.
“She’s just so sweet,” King says. “Such a doll and just, it was like having a mom there.”
Hynes agrees, calling Kelce a “sweetheart” and revealing she even asked him and King to write her son Travis, a tight-end for the Chiefs, a note to put in his locker since they were filming at the actual stadium.
“I wrote the lyrics to ‘Friends in Low Places,’ saying it was a play that I was at,” Hynes says. “And I said, ‘Don’t ever change.’”
“I think I wrote something like, ‘Thanks for letting us steal your field and your mom,’” King adds.
Truly bringing the “mom” energy, Hynes jokes that he found one photo she sent him from a day at work that still brings him a good laugh.
“The last one was just herself, cropped off,” he says. “This is my favorite thing ever. I was like, this is maybe the best photo I’ve ever received in my life.”
The movie also features an impressive lineup of stars and cameos in addition to Donna, Hynes, King and Bush Hager: Diedrich Bader, Megyn Price, Richard Riehle, Christine Ebersole, Richard Christie and Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid, alongside a handful of Kansas City Chiefs players.
Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story premieres Nov. 30 on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas.
