Lifetime and Hallmark, known for their iconic holiday romance films, are embracing the magic of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s highly publicized relationship as inspiration for two upcoming Christmas movies.
The first film, Christmas in the Spotlight, incorporates aspects of the couple’s public connection into its storyline. Writer Tran Donohue openly admitted crafting the script with Taylor and Travis in mind. While not officially endorsed by the duo, the narrative feels strikingly familiar. Imagine a superstar meeting a charming yet humble athlete during the holidays—a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, no less. It’s a storyline sure to delight Swifties and football fans alike.
Following Lifetime’s premiere, Hallmark will debut its take with Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. With Hallmark’s headquarters in Kansas City, this idea seemed too good to pass up. While the plot isn’t as directly tied to Taylor and Travis as Lifetime’s version, it does feature a special cameo from Mama Kelce herself.
If you’re looking for a break from the Swift-Kelce buzz, you might have to wait until next year.
Christmas in the Spotlight aired on Lifetime on November 29, while Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story premieres on Hallmark on November 30.
