Two new Christmas TV movies with a Taylor Swift connection are set to premiere, offering fans a delightful treat. The first movie, 'Christmas in the Spotlight,' will air on Lifetime and features a storyline reminiscent of Swift's relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The film stars Jessica Lord as a famous pop star who falls in love with a pro football player, played by Laith Wallschleger. The scriptwriter, a devoted Swift fan, drew inspiration from the couple's public support for each other, incorporating subtle references for fans to enjoy.

The second movie, 'Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,' will be shown on Hallmark and celebrates family traditions and sports team loyalty. The plot revolves around a new Chiefs employee, portrayed by Tyler Hynes, who connects with a woman from a family with a deep-rooted passion for the team, played by Hunter King. Despite the writer's allegiance to the San Francisco 49ers, she embraced the opportunity to work on the film, which includes cameos from Chiefs players and a small role for Donna Kelce.

Both movies offer unique insights into different aspects of love and fandom, with 'Christmas in the Spotlight' catering to Swift enthusiasts through carefully placed Easter eggs and 'Holiday Touchdown' highlighting the bond between families and sports teams. The actors involved in the projects expressed excitement over filming at Arrowhead Stadium and on the field, describing the experience as unforgettable and enjoyable.
