Director: John Putch
A Kansas City Chiefs fan contest becomes the backdrop for a slow-building romance in Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, a 2024 holiday romance from director John Putch.
What is Holiday Touchdown A Chiefs Love Story about?
Alana Higman throws herself into her favorite team's annual Fan of the Year competition alongside her family, only to find that the contest's fan-engagement director, Derrick, keeps disrupting her focus in unexpected ways. As the two spend more time together during the competition, a mutual spark becomes hard to ignore. Complications arrive when a cherished family keepsake — her grandfather's decades-old winter hat, worn for good luck at games — goes missing, sending Alana into a spiral of doubt about tradition, timing, and whether she is ready to let someone new into her life.
Cast & crew
Hunter King leads as Alana opposite Tyler Hynes as Derrick, with Ed Begley Jr., Megyn Price, Diedrich Bader, Christine Ebersole, Richard Riehle, and Jamie Addison filling out the extended family and contest crowd around them.
Context & significance
Released in 2024 and running a brisk 84 minutes, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story fits squarely into the holiday-season romance genre that pairs a light sports backdrop with family tradition and gentle stakes. It leans on the rhythms of a competition format — heats, judges, a ticking clock — to keep the courtship moving without losing its cozy, low-conflict tone, and the football setting gives the family scenes an easy, communal warmth.
