Once you fill your belly on Thanksgiving, fill your heart with the delightful Higman family.

And let’s not forget that Hunter King and Tyler Hynes’ characters will have a romance that will have the whole Higman family ready to fumble the ball for love. 

In this exclusive interview, Ed, Diedrich, and Megyn share their hilarious and heartfelt perspectives on the movie, football, and the family dynamics that make this story so relatable. 

They dive into everything from their personal connections to football to the quirky superstitions that bring extra magic (and chaos) to the Higman family’s Christmas. 

And yes, there are plenty of laughs along the way — this cast knows how to keep things entertaining, both on- and off-screen.

This movie is especially timely because it perfectly captures the current crossover between football and pop culture. 

With women now making up about half of the NFL’s audience (thanks in no small part to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce), Hallmark’s decision to team up with the Kansas City Chiefs feels like a no-brainer. 

Both fandoms are deeply passionate and fiercely loyal. They are all about creating traditions that bring people together. This film celebrates all of that with a holiday twist.

It’s not just the story that makes Holiday Touchdown special — it’s the cast that brings it to life.
