Hallmark Hits the Field: Tyler Hynes and Hunter King Tease the Chiefs’ Christmas Romance

What happens when Hallmark magic meets Kansas City Chiefs fandom? 

You get Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, a movie so packed with charm, romance, and festive fun, it might just be your next Christmas tradition. 

This Hallmark Channel original stars Tyler Hynes and Hunter King, two fan favorites who light up the screen as sparks fly between a die-hard Chiefs fan and the guy tasked with judging her family’s “Fan of the Year” dreams. 

Add in a little Christmas magic, a missing vintage hat, and cameos from actual Chiefs players and coaches, and you’ve got yourself a playbook for holiday perfection.

In this exclusive interview, Tyler and Hunter dish on everything that makes this movie special.

From Alana’s (Hunter’s character) multi-generational Chiefs-obsessed family to Derrick’s (Tyler’s character) role as Director of Fan Engagement, the two break down why this story feels so personal. 

Spoiler alert: it’s not just about football. It’s about family, fate, and finding love in the middle of the holiday season — and maybe even on the fifty-yard line.

But let’s not pretend it’s all serious talk. 

Tyler and Hunter bring their special humor and energy to this chat, sharing adorable banter (you won’t believe who wanted to borrow whose outfit) and spilling what it was really like working with Chiefs royalty, including Donna Kelce. 

It turns out that blending Hallmark’s warm-and-fuzzy vibes with the Chiefs’ high-energy fandom is a match made in heaven — or at least Kansas City.

And honestly, isn’t this partnership kind of genius? 

Both Hallmark and the NFL have fanbases that are fiercely loyal, deeply passionate, and all about creating memorable experiences. 

With women now making up nearly 50% of football audiences — thanks in part to Taylor Swift and her NFL star boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — it feels like the perfect time to mix touchdowns with tinsel.
