Much of Western NY was tuned in to The Hallmark Channel over the weekend to watch Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, a Hallmark movie mostly shot in local settings like Highmark Stadium, Canalside, and Chestnut Ridge Park. Buffalo Bills fans loved to see Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott and Bills players Damar Hamlin, Dion Dawkins, Dawson Knox, Reid Ferguson, DeWayne Carter, Ray Davis, Joshua Palmer showing up on their TV screens.
For those of you who missed Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story you can catch it on Wednesday, November 26 at 8:00 PM. There’s a search for a Secret Santa. Two lifelong Buffalo Bills fans, Morgan Quinn (Holland Roden), a doctor, and Gabe DeLuca (Matthew Daddario), the man in charge of construction for the new Highmark Stadium in Buffalo provide the Love Interest. The two friends have lived next door to each other since childhood and their families are close. Their search takes them all around Western NY…and brings them together romantically.

Now you’re getting all mushy on us, George.
Jerry, all of Western NY was tuned into HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILLS LOVE STORY! High ratings here!
I’ll have to tell Jackie about it.
I don’t suppose they stopped for custard…?
Jeff, no custard but plenty of pizza, wings, and Paula’s peanut doughnuts!
At first I thought this was the story of Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld! George, I suspect your very generous grade was the result in some part by geographic proximity, although this might be something I’d put on in the background while I’m putting up Christmas decorations.
Deb, Hallmark shot a lot of this movie in this area so the familiar scenes showing up on the TV screen was a kick!
Nice if they did one for each NFL city.
One suspects that’s in the cards…though NYC and other larger host cities might be more blase about episodes set in their areas.
Todd, you’re right. But HALLMARK movies about the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be winners!
Patti, last year HALLMARK made a Kansas City Chiefs movie. This year, it was the Buffalo Bills. I’m guessing if the ratings are good, they’ll make more NFL related movies.
I may vomit!
Bob, no messes pre-Thanksgiving! And, HALLMARK makes a lot of money on these movies!
Proving P.T. Barnum was right! To my everlasting shame, my wife watches Hallmark movies a lot! Or Lifetime!
Bob, Diane watches HALLMARK movies all year long…but especially at Christmas!
