Hallmark Channel Partners with Chicago Bears for 2026's 'Holiday Touchdown' Movie! - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Hallmark Channel has announced the next NFL team that will be featured in the Holiday Touchdown movie franchise!

The network is making its third installment of the holiday movie series, this time teaming up with the Chicago Bears for an all-new love story.

Hallmark launched the series in 2024 with Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, an original movie starring Hunter King and Tyler Hynes, followed by 2025’s Bills movie starring Holland Roden and Matthew Daddario. Casting has not yet been announced for the Bears movie.

Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story will air during Hallmark Channel’s 17th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event later in 2026. Bears head coach Ben Johnson and tight end Colston Loveland both participated in an announcement video, which you can watch below.

“After the tremendous success of our first two Holiday Touchdown movies, we knew we wanted to continue the tradition by partnering with another iconic NFL franchise and fan base. The Chicago Bears have a rich history, passionate supporters, and a culture that extends far beyond the football field, making them a perfect fit for a heartwarming holiday story,” began Darren Abbott, President and Chief Brand Officer, Hallmark Media. “We can’t wait for audiences to experience this story and celebrate the passion and spirit that bring Bears fans together.

“We are honored, grateful and excited to join forces with Hallmark Media, Skydance Sports and NFL Films on this special project. As we continually look for ways to further the connection with our passionate Chicago Bears fans and amplify our global brand in creative ways, we will provide our club and our fans with the opportunity to grow together by creating a special, meaningful movie,” said Kevin Warren, President and CEO, Chicago Bears. “We look forward to the work ahead alongside Hallmark Media, Skydance Sports and NFL Films, and we are energized for the product we will create together, celebrating football, family, the Chicago Bears and the holiday season.”
