Per the official announcement, Donna will play the manager of Kansas City BBQ Restaurant Norma & Nic’s in the love story.

As revealed in June, the movie will star King, 30, as Alana, a Chiefs superfan who becomes a finalist in team's “Fan of the Year” contest. Hynes, 38, will play Derrick, the Chiefs' Director of Fan Engagement whose job is to determine Alana's family's level of dedication to the Super Bowl Championship team against two other finalists — and he unexpectedly falls for Alana in the process.

In the sweet announcement of Donna's involvement in the film, King and Hynes introduce themselves before separating and revealing Jason and Travis Kelce's mom.

Wearing a No. 87 jersey in honor of Travis, she declares, "Hi, I'm Donna Kelce and I'm in Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story..."

King jumps in: "On this Countdown To Christmas," before Hynes concludes, "Only on Hallmark Channel."

"It's been a ride. That's for sure," she said. "Sometimes I feel I'm on some kind of a different planet. I'm like, 'What has my life become?'"

This isn't Donna's only brush with a Hallmark moment. She appeared in an NFL playoffs promo video in January featuring Hynes and Janel Parrish. The clip was packed with nods to Travis and Taylor Swift's romance.
