Hallmark Channel’s highly anticipated movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story just aired on the network and the stars were celebrating with a live premiere in Kansas City!
Hunter King and Tyler Hynes hit the red carpet for the premiere of the movie during the Hallmark Christmas Experience event on Saturday night (November 30) at Crown Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
The co-stars both dressed in red, which is one of the colors of the Kansas City Chiefs! They were joined at the event by fellow Hallmark Channel stars and several members of the Super Bowl-winning football team.

Co-stars Ed Begley Jr., Christine Ebersole, Megyn Price, Diedrich Bader, Richard Riehle, Jamie Addison, and Taylen Biggs were also present, as was screenwriter Julie Sherman Wolfe.
Kansas City Chiefs players including Trey Smith, Clyde Edwards-Helhaire, Swayze Bozeman (with his wife Macie), Christian Okoye and Hunter Nourzad (with girlfriend Sarah Christina Kane) also showed up to support the movie. They were joined by CEO Clark Hunt‘s daughter Gracie Hunt.
Other Hallmark Channel actors such as Jonathan Bennett, Warren Christie, Melissa Peterman, Benjamin Ayres, Wes Brown (who makes a cameo in the movie!), Jessy Schram, Erin Cahill, and Kristoffer Polaha (with his wife Julianne and kids Micah and Kristoffer Caleb) even attended!
Here’s the official synopsis of the movie: “Hunter King plays Alana Higman, who’s 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. Tyler Hynes stars as Derrick (Hynes), Director of Fan Engagement, who 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 grandfather’s (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.”
Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story premiered on November 30. Check out the trailer here!
