It looks like Hallmark and the NFL are very happy together, because they just announced a second Countdown to Christmas movie partnership — this time, called “Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story.”
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin shared the news in a video message with “Today” on Thursday, months after the companies’ first collaboration “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” aired in late 2024.
“Hallmark Channel and the NFL have selected the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 Countdown to Christmas movie draft,” the pro athlete teased. “We’re so excited to celebrate our team, our fans — and shout out to Bills Mafia — and our shared love for football and Hallmark Christmas movies. Go Bills.”
Production is set to begin later this year and will film entirely in and around Buffalo, New York, including at the team’s Highmark Stadium. The cast will be revealed at a later date. Skydance Sports also serves as an executive producer on the project.
“The incredible success of last year’s partnership with the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs far exceeded our expectations,” Hallmark’s chief brand officer Darren Abbott said in a statement. “We are thrilled to team up with the Bills this year for a new holiday movie filled with heart, family and the classic Hallmark storytelling that our fans know and love, all set against the special community the Bills franchise has nurtured throughout its storied history.”
“We were honored to be approached by Skydance Sports to participate in this amazing project that will showcase two powerful brands – Hallmark and the Buffalo Bills,” the Bills’ chief operating officer Pete Guelli added. “This is just another example of how the Bills brand and our amazing fan base continues to grow across the sports and entertainment landscape. This is an incredible opportunity to feature Western New York and Bills Mafia on the Hallmark platform. It is a privilege to be part of this project, and we hope this film will be a hit during the holiday season!”
“Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” premiered Nov. 30 on the Hallmark Channel. It starred Hunter King, Tyler Hynes, Ed Begley Jr., Megyn Price, Diedrich Bader, Christine Ebersole and Richard Riehle and featured a cameo from Donna Kelce, as well as multiple Kansas City Chiefs players.
