The Quinns and DeLucas have lived next door to each other for decades in the shadow of Highmark Stadium – the home of their beloved Buffalo Bills. With their longtime friendship rooted in being proud members of Bills Mafia, the two clans have enjoyed cherished traditions that revolve around cheering for their favorite team – especially at the holidays when they celebrate the last home game before Christmas. Pediatric doctor Morgan Quinn and the Bills’ VP of Stadium Development Gabe DeLuca have been lifelong friends, but Gabe has always held a torch for her – a fact obvious to their families… and everyone else who crosses their path. When Morgan learns from her Uncle Tommy that someone anonymously helped her family get by after he was drafted more than 60 years ago – and that he continues to receive a Christmas gift each year to this day – she decides to find his benefactor and give her uncle a Christmas he’ll always remember. Aided by Bills Mafia friends of theirs, Morgan and Gabe work together to unwrap the gifter’s identity. Along the way, Gabe’s love for Morgan deepens and in turn, she begins to see him in a new light though neither is daring enough to admit their feelings. Meanwhile, Morgan’s hopes of pulling off her surprise for Uncle Tommy get sacked. That is, until Gabe takes matters into his own hands and uses his connections with the Bills to pull off the surprise of a lifetime for Morgan and both their families that will make this a Christmas they’ll never forget. Starring Holland Roden, Matthew Daddario and Joe Pantoliano.
Cameos: Coach Sean McDermott, Ray Davis, Damar Hamlin, Dion Dawkins, Dawson Knox, Reid Ferguson, DeWayne Carter, Joshua Palmer; Jim Kelly, Steve Tasker, Thurman Thomas, Scott Norwood, Andre Reed; Chris Brown; Luke Russert.
Recap/Wine Thoughts
Madison is a Buffalo Bills fan AND a doctor. Her family/neighbors are Buffalo Bills fans. They have a photo tradition of taking photos in the field at Christmas. Madison’s sister is pregnant, but insists on being there, even if she is in labor.
Her childhood friend, Gabe, gets her out of the house, and they go pick out a Christmas tree for their parents. Their friends tell Gabe to just tell Morgan how he feels, because he has an obvious crush.
They spend most of the movie figuring out who sent Morgan’s dad some Christmas ornaments.
Santa shows up, and it is the Matchmaking Santa from the other Hallmark Football movie. He tells Gabe to tell Morgan how he really feels. Creepy Santa keeps popping out everywhere and pushing Gabe to tell her!!!!
They figure out the ornament thing.
Then we get some football footage provided by the NFL. They honor veterans in Salute to Service. Morgan’s dad thanks the woman who has been sending him ornaments secretly for 50 years. Everyone cheers for that lady.
The sister goes into labor and the family files out, but what about their photo on the field!?!?!?
Baby Jessica is born, and Gabe pulls a favor and gets them on the field on Christmas. The photo happens, and Christmas is SAVED!
Side Note/Stray Thoughts
Andrew Walker, trying to put a pen behind his ear, is hilarious.
Gabe was giving Prince Eric. Matthew Daddario
There were a lot of football cameos that went right over my head.
