Get ready for the next big holiday movie! *Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story* is part of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas lineup for 2025. Following last year’s successful football-themed film, this new release dives into the lives of the Quinn and DeLuca families, who are not just neighbors but also die-hard Buffalo Bills fans.
The story centers on Morgan Quinn, played by Holland Roden. Morgan, a dedicated doctor, has been best friends with Gabe DeLuca (Matthew Daddario) since childhood. Unbeknownst to Morgan, Gabe has feelings for her. The plot thickens when Morgan discovers a long-lasting anonymous gift to her family linked to her uncle’s draft sixty years ago. This prompts her to seek out the mystery benefactor.
This movie continues Hallmark’s collaboration with the NFL, bringing football back into the holiday mix. While the charm of sports romance remains, some may feel it lacks the depth of last year’s film. This could be due to the familiarity of the storyline, making it less impactful for some viewers.
Holland Roden shines as the lead, delivering a strong performance. The movie features cameos from notable personalities, adding fun to the storyline, even if they don’t appeal to all audiences. Fans of the Bills will likely enjoy these special appearances as part of the festive fanfare.
While *Holiday Touchdown* may not offer a complex narrative, it brings plenty of heart to the screen. If you liked last year’s *Chiefs Love Story*, this film is worth a watch. Sometimes, simplicity is exactly what we crave during the holiday season.
A recent survey from the American Psychological Association shows that many people look forward to feel-good films during the holidays. Nearly 70% of respondents said movies help them experience joy, making *Holiday Touchdown* a fitting choice for the season. With its light-hearted romance and holiday spirit, this film could be just what you need to unwind this Christmas.
