Donna Kelce knows all about Hallmark Christmas movies, considering she has starred in one.

A year ago, “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story” debuted on the Hallmark Channel and Kelce had a role in the film, which had bonkers television ratings.

Kelce, who is the mother of Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, is now featured in a Google commercial that has a Hallmark movie feel.

“A little merry matchmaking? Mama’s on it in @google ‘s The Gift EXchange trailer. NOT coming to a theater near you,” Google wrote in an Instagram post it shared with Kelce.

If you don’t have time to sit down and watch a full Hallmark movie, here’s a way to get your fix this holiday season. And, even though it is a commercial, this is a fun spot with Kelce.
