Move over, Mariah Carey—Donna Kelce is coming for your Christmas queen crown! The proud mama of NFL superstars Travis and Jason Kelce is trading football fields for feel-good Hallmark vibes in Christmas on Call and Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. Spoiler alert: she’s repping both her sons’ teams and melting hearts along the way.
Let’s break it down: Donna is the MVP of multitasking this holiday season. In Christmas on Call, she’s all about the Eagles (shoutout to Jason’s former stomping grounds), while Holiday Touchdown gives her a chance to cheer for Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs. Forget team rivalries—this woman just made co-parenting look like an Olympic sport with Hallmark as her referee.
Donna’s Red Carpet Play-by-Play
Talking to People about her acting debut, Donna gushed, “It was so awesome!” (Translation: “I crushed it.”) She didn’t just learn the ropes; she tackled them. “There were so many fantastic veterans of Hallmark movies, and I just had a blast learning from all of them.” AKA, she was out there earning her acting stripes while sipping hot cocoa and probably baking cookies on set because Hallmark runs on sugar, snowflakes, and mom energy.
Donna also gave a special shoutout to Kansas City, where she’s basically honorary royalty. “It’s so much fun to be in Kansas City at Christmastime,” she said, probably wearing Chiefs red while dodging snowflakes like a pro. Fun fact: she’s been a regular at Arrowhead Stadium for 11 years, which is longer than some Hallmark movies even stay on air.
Grandkids = Donna’s Biggest Critics
After Christmas on Call aired, Donna revealed her toughest audience yet: Jason’s three little girls, Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. Apparently, these tiny critics were OBSESSED. “They kept saying, ‘Play it back! Play it back!’” she shared, proving Donna Kelce’s acting chops are grandkid-approved.
Bonus Star Power: Donna + Taylor Swift
As if her Hallmark debut wasn’t iconic enough, Donna casually rolled up to the Chiefs game last Friday with none other than Taylor Swift. Yep, T-Swizzle herself. Donna’s basically living in a real-life Hallmark movie where the plot is “NFL mom becomes America’s sweetheart and also befriends a global pop superstar.”
Mark Your Calendars
Don’t miss Donna in Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story this Saturday at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. (It’s probably a lot like the Super Bowl but with more mistletoe and less tackling.) And if you missed Christmas on Call, no worries—it’s re-airing Sunday at 12/11c. Grab your eggnog and settle in because Donna Kelce is about to jingle bell rock your holiday season.
