I have to say, after watching last years Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, I was hoping they would do another Touchdown movie and they did!  This Holiday gem was magical, romantic, all things “Bills football” and cameos to delight Bills fans.  What a cast as well. For those of you that had the opportunity to watch last years Holiday Touchdown movie, you will have to see the surprise guest scene with Santa and reindeer…Bravo to whomever wrote that in!  What’s a Hallmark movie without Santa. Tribute paid to The Godfather too!  So many spoilers that I can’t give away, but you won’t be disappointed and now you have a wonderful Christmas movie to watch this Saturday night.  Tell all your family and friends to tune in Saturday, November 22 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark and streaming next day on Hallmark+ Channel.  You don’t want to miss this Hallmark movie, it’s all things Christmas in Buffalo, New York. Santa even has a special guest, so don’t miss seeing that scene.  This movie not only has a love story, it just happens to have two of them, so you get twice the love story and they both will touch your heart. Grab a box of tissue.  Also wanted to mention that Hallmark+ would make a wonderful holiday gift for that someone special so they can enjoy it all through the year.  Go to the bottom on the page to see how to do just that.  I love my Hallmark+ Channel as I don’t have to be interrupted with commercial, sorry advertisers.  Judy Shields, The Hollywood Times

Check out the trailer:

The Quinns and DeLucas have lived next door to each other for decades in the shadow of Highmark Stadium – the home of their beloved Buffalo Bills.  With their longtime friendship rooted in being proud members of Bills Mafia, the two clans have enjoyed cherished traditions that revolve around cheering for their favorite team – especially at the holidays when they celebrate the last home game before Christmas.  Pediatric doctor Morgan Quinn (Roden) and the Bills’ VP of Stadium Development Gabe DeLuca (Daddario) have been lifelong friends, but Gabe has always held a torch for her – a fact obvious to their families (Pollan, Aaron, Schirripa, Murin)…and everyone else who crosses their path. When Morgan learns from her Uncle Tommy (Pantoliano) that someone anonymously helped her family get by after he was drafted more than 60 years ago – and that he continues to receive a Christmas gift each year to this day – she decides to find his benefactor and give her uncle a Christmas he’ll always remember. 

Aided by Bills Mafia friends of theirs, Morgan and Gabe work together to unwrap the gifter’s identity.  Along the way, Gabe’s love for Morgan deepens and in turn, she begins to see him in a new light though neither is daring enough to admit their feelings.  Meanwhile, Morgan’s hopes of pulling off her surprise for Uncle Tommy get sacked.  That is, until Gabe takes matters into his own hands and uses his connections with the Bills to pull off the surprise of a lifetime for Morgan and both their families that will make this a Christmas they’ll never forget.  

Cameos: Coach Sean McDermott, Ray Davis, Damar Hamlin, Dion Dawkins, Dawson Knox, Reid Ferguson, DeWayne Carter, Joshua Palmer, Jim Kelly, Steve Tasker, Thurman Thomas, Scott Norwood, Andre Reed, Chris Brown, and Luke Russert.
