PREMIERING THIS YEAR DURING THE
15TH ANNIVERSARY OF COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS
Everyone's Favorite NFL Mom Shows Love to Both Home Cities of her Sons' Teams
Christmas on Call Features The Philly Specials' New Christmas Song,
"Santa Drives An Astrovan"
STUDIO CITY, CA - September 17, 2024 - It's official: Donna Kelce is the hardest working mom in the NFL with not one, but TWO cameo roles in Hallmark Channel original movies premiering this year during the 15th anniversary of Countdown to Christmas. Staying true to a mother's aversion to playing favorites, she appears in movies that pay homage to both her sons Jason and Travis' teams.
As previously announced, fans will see her in the Kansas City-set Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story starring Hunter King (Two Scoops of Italy) and Tyler Hynes (Shifting Gears), as the manager of Norma & Nic's, the popular Kansas City BBQ restaurant owned by the family at the center of the story who is vying for the title of the Chiefs Fan of the Year.
In Christmas on Call, Ser'Darius Blain (Will Trent) is EMT and devout Eagles fan Wes Sullivan who helps new ER doctor Hannah Michaels, played by Sara Canning (Holiday Road), become acquainted with Philadelphia. This includes a stop at a popular Philly Cheesesteak establishment where they meet Donna, decked out in an Eagles jersey, who makes sure Hannah orders her Cheesesteak the authentic way - "whiz wit." Also featured in the movie is the new song "Santa Drives an Astrovan" by The Philly Specials - comprised of Eagles players Jordan Mailata, Lane Johnson and their newly retired teammate Jason Kelce - and featuring Mt. Joy. The track is from the group's upcoming album A Philly Special Christmas Party, the proceeds from which will benefit Children's Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

Alana Higman (King) is sure that her family's lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team's "Fan of the Year" contest. Derrick (Hynes), Director of Fan Engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two finalists. As the pair spends time together, it's clear there's a spark between them but when her grandfathers (Begley Jr.) vintage Chiefs, good luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick - unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary.
