What’s the Story?
Now, let’s talk about the movie itself. While it’s centered on the Kansas City Chiefs and that undeniable love for football, the plot focuses on a devoted superfan played by the talented Hunter King. She’s on a mission to win the team’s “Fan of the Year” contest. Alongside her is Tyler Hynes, who plays a character involved in this exciting competition. And yes, while there are subtle nods to the romance between Chiefs’ star Travis Kelce and pop superstar Taylor Swift, it’s not the main theme here!
Stars in Our Midst!
This weekend is not just about the movie premiere, either! Hallmark stars Hunter King and Tyler Hynes will be in town making appearances that you won’t want to miss. They’re set to kick off the festivities by helping Mayor Quinton Lucas light the Mayor’s Christmas Tree in Crown Center at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. But that’s not all! On Saturday, they’ll be walking the red carpet on Grand Boulevard in Crown Center Square as the excitement builds for the movie premiere.
All the fun kicks off at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and both Chiefs fans and Hallmark movie lovers are invited to join in the celebration. You’ll get a chance to see the cast, cheerleaders, and even KC Wolf as they stroll down the carpet.
An Exciting Time for Kansas City
This weekend is shaping up to be a perfect blend of football, holiday cheer, and good old-fashioned entertainment. Whether you’re spending your time watching the movie or mingling with the stars, one thing is for sure: Kansas City knows how to put on a show!
