We’re joined by V Spehar from Under the Desk News to dive into the newest Holiday Touchdown film. This time we head to Buffalo for Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story — clear eyes, full Bills, can't lose.

Sparks fly between two lifelong Buffalo Bills fans as they try to discover the identity of a mysterious Christmastime gift giver.

Morgan is on a date during a Bills game — like, a total moron. She can’t stop watching the game, her date isn’t having it, and they leave. But at least now she can enjoy the game while sipping a drink made by Andrew Walker.

The next day, she’s with her family, the Quinns, who are hanging out with their best friends and next-door neighbors, the DeLucas family. Morgan lights up when Gabe shows up. They’ve been best friends forever, but Gabe has secretly been in love with her all along. With both of them single, maybe now’s the time to finally shoot his shot.

They go to snag a Christmas tree — at the same lot where Tyler Hynes and Hunter King are inexplicably picking out a tree. And, of course, the magical Santa tree is there too.

When they get back home, they find an envelope addressed to Uncle Tommy. Inside is a Christmas ornament. He explains that someone has been sending gifts like this for 55 years — starting as groceries and cash when their family was struggling during his draft into the war, and evolving into ornaments every year. It’s a mystery who the giver is.

Morgan and Gabe decide to track down the mystery giver — harder than they expected. After a day together and seeing her in her element at the hospital, Gabe tries to confess his feelings but gets distracted by the Christmas light display at his house turning on.

They ask Uncle Tommy to show them more ornaments, and on the bottom of one, they spot a store name. They track down receipts from the ’70s and start combing through them. Eventually, they get a lead — though the giver’s name isn’t visible yet.

It’s obvious to everyone else that Gabe is in love with Morgan, but he can’t bring himself to say it.

Finally, they track down the mystery giver: Mia, a childhood friend of Tommy’s who’s secretly been in love with him all these years. Feeling a kinship with her situation, Gabe insists she tell Tommy. Mia resists, but Gabe won’t let it go.

Morgan confronts Gabe: “What’s up with you?” He blurts, “I LOVE YOU, OKAY?!” She walks away to process it.

It’s time for the big Christmas game, and Gabe is nowhere to be found. Turns out he orchestrated Mia’s daughter to be the “troop shoutout of the day,” and gets Tommy to publicly thank Mia. He finally tells her he’s always loved her, and they kissssss.

Everyone cheers — including Morgan, who can’t believe everything Gabe did to make it happen. Her sister goes into labor, so they can’t take their traditional family photo. Luckily, Gabe pulls some strings again, getting them back into the stadium to play catch with Bills legends and take their pictures. Morgan thanks Gabe with a big ol’ kiss.

Merry Christmas!
