The Chicago Bears are coming to the big screen this holiday season!
It’s all thanks to a new partnership with the Hallmark Channel, the NFL, and Skydance Sports, according to a release.
Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story will premier this December during Hallmark’s 17th annual Countdown to Christmas series.
Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson and tight end Colston Loveland announced the news in a video shared to Instagram Thursday.
“This ones for fans and everyone who rides with us in Bear Nation,” said Loveland.
Production will reportedly begin this summer at numerous locations throughout Chicago, highlighting iconic local landmarks and traditions.
Hallmark will reportedly release the full cast of Bears players to star in the film at a future date.
“We are honored, grateful and excited to join forces with Hallmark Media, Skydance Sports and NFL Films on this special project,” said Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren.
“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.”
