See Donna Kelce Make Her Acting Debut in the New Hallmark Movie Christmas on Call (Exclusive)

Travis, Jason Kelce Talk About Mama Donna Kelceā€™s Hallmark Movies

Donna Kelce is ready for her close-up!

The beloved mother to Jason and Travis Kelce is making her acting debut in the Hallmark original movie Christmas on Call ā€” and PEOPLE has the exclusive first look.

Donna, 72, plays an employee at a local Philadelphia cheesesteak spot in her scene, alongside the film’s stars, Ser’Darius Blain and Sara Canning, whose characters came into Donna’s eatery for a quick bite.

 

 

Blain, who plays Wes ā€” an EMT and devout Eagles fan ā€” in the movie, introduces Canning’s character, Hannah, a new ER doctor from out of town, to Donna, who charmingly informs the couple that there’s “no menu” available at her restaurant.

“Do you want onions?,” Donna, sporting Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles jersey, asks with a smile in the clip.

When Wes tells Donna that Hannah is “not from around here” ā€” meaning Philadelphia, where the movie takes place ā€” the NFL’s most popular mom says, “Obviously!”

And while fans of the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are excited to tune in to Hallmark for the Nov. 22 premiere of Christmas on Call to support Donna, her sons Jason and Travis said their mom is making them proud.

 

 

On the Nov. 20 episode of their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the football stars shouted out Donna’s new project.

ā€œGot to admit, I have not seen a lot of Hallmark movies,ā€ Jason, 37, said on the episode. ā€œIā€™m excited to watch this one.ā€

Donna’s appearance in Christmas on Call comes alongside her cameo in another Hallmark movie ā€” Hollywood Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, in which she plays the manager of a barbecue restaurant called Norma & Nic’s.

Jason said on the podcast that while Donna may be playing a barbecue restaurant manager, it was always their father, Ed Kelce, who handled the barbecues at their family home.

ā€œMom can cook a lot of things, I donā€™t think sheā€™s ever made barbecue for us,ā€ Jason said. ā€œNot even barbecue sauce ā€¦ that was dadā€™s deal.ā€

 

 

The film follows Chiefs superfan Alana (Hunter King) as she competes in the team’s “Fan of the Year” contest and meets Derrick (Tyler Hynes), who is tasked with evaluating her in the contest.

Christmas on Call premieres Nov. 22 on Hallmark Channel followed by Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story on Nov. 30.
