Kansas City, Missouri is known for its passionate fan base, particularly for the Chiefs Kingdom. However, another group of fans, those who love Hallmark movies, are also incredibly devoted. Now, these two worlds are coming together in a collaboration that is sure to excite fans of both realms.
In an exciting announcement on Tuesday, the Chiefs and Hallmark revealed that a brand new Hallmark Christmas movie will be filmed entirely in Kansas City. Titled “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” the movie is currently seeking extras to participate in the filming. One of the key locations for filming will be GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, marking the first time the iconic venue will be featured in a Hallmark production.
Production for the movie is set to begin next month in Kansas City, offering locals a unique opportunity to be a part of this special project. Those interested in becoming extras for the Chiefs Hallmark Christmas movie can apply through Wright/Laird Casting in Kansas City. While the casting call initially accepted applications, it is now closed, leaving hopefuls eager for future opportunities uncertain about additional casting calls.
To apply, individuals must be at least 18 years old and are not required to have professional acting experience. Applicants are asked to upload two photos—a basic headshot and a full-body shot. Selected extras will be compensated $150 per filming day, with additional information requested on the application form, including details about talent representation, local residency, availability, and unique skills like rollerblading.
In a recent interview with KMBC 9, a local musician and actress shared her excitement after securing a role in the upcoming movie. Beyond the film, Hallmark and the Chiefs organization have hinted at exciting plans for special gameday activations, co-branded merchandise, and more to be unveiled later this year. The collaboration between these two beloved entities is sure to generate buzz and anticipation among fans in Kansas City and beyond.
