The Holiday Touchdown series started in 2024 with A Chiefs Love Story. 2025 had A Bills Love Story. This year, it’s A Bears Love Story. I’m not a big football fan but I wonder if they are going to go through all of the NFL teams.

Avery (Lyndsy Fonseca) is a reporter who has come to Chicago to spend Christmas with her mother and stepfather. While there, she gets a chance to write a story about Darlene (Marsha Mason), a woman who is about to attend her 500th Bears game. Darlene, however, is determined to set Avery up with her grandson, Matt (Robert Buckley).

This was actually quite a cute movie. Sure, the football was there but it didn’t overtake any of the plots. We see Darlene helping out her community, Avery trying to reconnect with her mother and stepfather, and Matt…well, Matt’s story falls to the wayside a bit. His story is really just falling in love with Avery. It was nice to see all of the community events and just how much Darlene cares for the people around her. She is so much more than just a Bears fan. Of all of the Holiday Touchdown movies, this may be my favorite.

Rating: Go Bears!
