It’s still two weeks until Halloween, but walk into nearly any store these days and you’ll see Christmas items prominently displayed.

And Hallmark is ready to get in the holiday spirit as it’ll begin a “Countdown to Christmas” on Friday with the premiere of “’Twas The Date Before Christmas.”

One of the Hallmark movies that will be part of the countdown is the Chiefs film. “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” will be released on Nov. 30. Unfortunately, a watch party that was planned that day in a place where part of the filming took place (Independence Square) was postponed.

If you bought tickets, here is what the EventBrite website says: “The organizer will review refund requests on a case-by-case basis.” Here is a link to the EventBrite refund policy.

The movie stars Tyler Hynes, Hunter King and Ed Begley Jr. Chiefs players Mecole Hardman, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and George Karlaftis and Trey Smith will appear in the film, along with coach Andy Reid and Donna Kelce, the mother of tight end Travis Kelce.

Here is a preview of the film.
