Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story Brings Football and Heart to the Holidays
Hey everyone, let me tell you about a charming new Hallmark movie that’s already creating buzz, especially for football fans. It’s called Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story , and as the title hints, it’s packed with football, family, and, of course, holiday cheer. But what makes this film stand out is not just the storyline—it’s the way it celebrates the Buffalo Bills and the community around them.
The movie stars Holland Roden and Matthew Daddario as Morgan Quinn and Gabe DeLuca. Morgan is a pediatric doctor, while Gabe works as the Bills’ VP of Stadium Development. These two families, the Quinns and the DeLucas, have been neighbors for decades, and their bond has grown through shared traditions and a love for their team—the Buffalo Bills. During the holidays, especially the last home game before Christmas, their friendship and festive celebrations shine. Gabe, as it turns out, has quietly loved Morgan for years, and his feelings are no secret to anyone around them.

The central plot kicks off when Morgan learns from her Uncle Tommy about a mysterious benefactor who has been anonymously supporting him since he was drafted over 60 years ago. Inspired by this story, she embarks on a heartfelt quest to find the person who has been sending gifts every Christmas, hoping to create a holiday they’ll never forget. Along the way, there are plenty of twists, turns, and laugh-out-loud moments, making it feel like a mix of football, romance, and a little holiday mystery.
One of the coolest parts? The film features cameos from a ton of Bills legends—Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas, Scott Norwood—and even current players like Ray Davis, Damar Hamlin, and Dawson Knox, along with coach Sean McDermott. Andre Reed, who played for the Bills for 15 seasons, appeared in the movie and admitted he wasn’t nervous at all because, well, he’s used to being in the spotlight. He even joked about having his Screen Actors Guild card now! The camaraderie between the former players is evident on screen—they clearly enjoy making each other laugh, and that energy translates to the audience too.
Shooting at Highmark Stadium, especially before its closure and move to a new location, added a real sense of nostalgia. Background actors in full Bills gear created the vibe of a true Buffalo block party, complete with holiday decorations. Roden mentioned that the film has a “Silver Linings Playbook” feel, highlighting tight-knit family dynamics, self-deprecating humor, and small-town charm.
Matthew Daddario says the film has something for everyone: humor, holiday warmth, a touch of mystery, football excitement, and of course, appearances from beloved Bills players. It’s a movie that celebrates both the spirit of the holidays and the enduring love for a football team and a community.
Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story premieres Saturday, November 22, at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel and will also be available for streaming on Hallmark+. Whether you’re a Bills fan or just love a heartwarming holiday story, this one’s definitely worth checking out.
