The locations that served as the Higman Family Store and Norma and Nick’s BBQ Restaurant are real-life family-run businesses
Scenario
Alana Higman, a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan, and her family are competing to win the team’s Fan of the Year award, in a process judged by director of fan engagement Derrick.. Get your fill of happy endings with this annual list of romantic holiday movies to watch from the comfort of your home. The movie was filmed in the historic Independence Square in Independence, Missouri, which actually looks like it did that year.
The family even runs a Chiefs store in their hometown
The square even has holiday lights like the one in the movie. Alana Higman (Hunter King) is a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan. Her parents met as kids with their families sitting next to each other at games.
There is a magic hat
They are in the running for Fan of the Year. Director of Fan Engagement Derrick (Tyler Hynes) is doing the assessment. The most compelling relationship in this movie is the one between Hallmark and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The corporate world calls this synergy
I expected more real Kansas City Chiefs. I expected some high-profile player to meet our couple. The players should want that too.
I guess everyone needs a paycheck
As for the couple, I have always liked Hunter King’s comedic timing and Tyler Hynes seems perfectly fine, although they might try out for Niall Cunningham. Surprisingly there are a lot of familiar faces in the other roles. That’s a great sign and maybe there will be more synergy to come.
