When you have famous children, you might secretly feel second best, but Donna Kelce is doing just fine.

Moreover, this isn’t the only Kelce connection in the new movie. Read on to find out more.
Donna Kelce to feature in a new Hallmark movie, Christmas On Call
As previously reported, Donna Kelce, the mother of NFL pros Jason and Travis Kelce is featured in the holiday movie, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story in support of her son’s Team.
However, according to People, Donna is set to appear in another Hallmark movie set in Philadelphia, where her son Jason used to play as a center for the Eagles. Kelce, 71, will make a special cameo in Christmas on Call, a movie that centers on “the lives of first responders in Philadelphia who intersect over the holiday season while juggling work, personal lives, and their dedication to protect and serve their city.”
In the movie, Ser-Darius Blain plays Wes, an EMT and devout Eagles fan, who helps a new ER doctor, Hannah (Sara Canning) find her way around Philadelphia. Naturally, no tour of the city is complete without a cheesesteak. Moreover, their stop at a popular cheesesteak restaurant leads them to meet Donna.

Christmas on Call is set to premiere as part of Hallmark’s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas programming event. Moreover, it features a new song by The Philly Specials, a band comprised of Eagle players Jordan Mailata, Lane Johnson, and their recently retired teammate, Jason Kelce.
Meanwhile, the music is for a worthy cause, as Santa Drives an Astrovan, features Mt. Joy and is from the group’s upcoming album, A Philly Special Christmas Party. Moreover, proceeds from the new album will benefit the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
