Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story

About the series
Holiday Touchdown begins with Kansas City Chiefs fans and then moves to two neighbouring Buffalo Bills families. The team changes, and so do the central couple and story. Chiefs follows Alana and Derrick through a fan competition; Bills pairs lifelong friends Morgan and Gabe with a search for an anonymous gift giver. Treat the collection as separate romances linked by football traditions, rather than one continuing relationship.
What to expect
Football fandom brings the families together, while the romances happen around holiday customs and personal history. The Chiefs film uses a fan contest and a missing lucky hat; the Bills film follows a gift-giver search. You do not need knowledge of earlier characters to switch teams, and the guides distinguish the released stories from the forthcoming Chicago film.
