Donna Kelce to Appear in 2 Hallmark Movies

Donna Kelce is branching out into acting with cameos in two forthcoming Hallmark Channel Christmas features, both linked to football. Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story and Christmas on Call will feature Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles fans respectively. The first involves a "fan of the year" contest, while the second involves a die-hard Eagles fan who introduces his romantic interest to Philadelphia. Known for being frequently showcased alongside her sons, NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, these roles will mark her acting debut.

In Holiday Touchdown, she portrays the manager of a barbecue restaurant, while in Christmas on Call, her character's aim is ordering a Cheesesteak "whiz wit"—a colloquial Philadelphia phrase. This move comes after Travis Kelce's appearance on Saturday Night Live and his casting in Ryan Murphy's Grotesquerie. Travis is also set to host Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? and has taken up producing this year. Jason Kelce, retired from the Eagles, will have a single from his band, The Philly Specials, featured in Christmas on Call. Proceeds from this song, "Santa Drives an Astrovan," will benefit the Children's Crisis Treatment Center and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot.
