What makes a classic holiday movie? Is it the music? The cast? The lighting?
While we’re not totally sure, this Hallmark Channel original blends holiday cheer and elements, and it’s pretty great. Titled Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, the film follows the story of two life-long Buffalo Bills fans Morgan and Gabe and their journey to finding love in Buffalo during Christmas. The film has a 1h 26m runtime and was directed by Dustin Rikert. Actors featured in the film include Holland Roden, Matthew Daddario, Tracy Pollan, Caroline Aaron and Tony Danza.
One of last year’s Hallmark movies was a Chiefs flick inspired by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift titled Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story was also a smash hit, so it’s likely this new film will be the same. This year’s celeb inspo? Hailee Steinfeld’s relationship with current Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen. The pair just announced that they are having a baby. The flick is a certified romcom that we can see our readers streaming beside the fire, a cup of hot cocoa in hand. Below, we’re going to be showing you how you can watch the film for free.
