All Major Actors & Cast List for Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story

The cast of Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.

Hunter King as Alana Higman

Alana Higman is up for the Kansas City Chiefs Fan of the Year, which puts her in contact with the team’s Director of Fan Engagement, Derrick. She has to teach him what it really means to be a fan and everything that comes along with it.

Portraying Alana is Hunter King, best known for her roles on The Young and the Restless and Hollywood Heights. She also had a small role in Steven Spielberg’s 2001 sci-fi film, A.I. Artificial Intelligence. King is the older sister of The Kissing Booth star Joey King.

Tyler Hynes as Derrick

Derrick may work in football, but he has trouble understanding all of the superstitions that accompany the sport. That puts him in a unique position as he tries to decide who wins the Fan of the Year award for the Chiefs. After meeting Alana, however, giving out awards will be the last thing on his mind.

Canadian actor Tyler Hynes brings Derrick to life, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that he’s part of the cast of Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, as he’s no stranger to appearing in holiday movies. His resume includes projects like Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas, An Unexpected Christmas, and My Christmas Family Tree.

She will play herself, adding a little touch of reality to the movie.
