The Kansas City Chiefs have unveiled a festive holiday video featuring tight end Travis Kelce as an animated elf. The video, which is set to be fully released on Christmas Eve, showcases Kelce in a whimsical role as the Chiefs prepare to face off against the Denver Broncos on December 25, 2023.
In this delightful short film, Kelce is portrayed as “Kelce on a shelfie,” bringing a playful twist to the holiday season. He engages in various antics around Arrowhead Stadium, all while rallying his teammates for their upcoming game. The video also features claymation representations of fellow players, including Trent McDuffie, Chris Jones, George Karlaftis, and Xavier Worthy, adding to its charm.
Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, lends her voice as the narrator, setting the holiday scene with a personalized rhyme. She narrates, “Twas the month before Christmas, almost the Thanksgiving game. When the Chiefs found an elf, one that needed a name.” Her narrative adds a warm touch, enhancing the festive spirit of the film.
Despite the holiday cheer, the Chiefs face challenges this season. Their recent loss to the Dallas Cowboys has left their record at 6-6, falling short of the team’s high expectations. Kelce himself has struggled with form, registering 631 yards this season, down from last year, though he has secured four touchdowns—one more than in 2022.
As the team prepares for their Christmas Day match, the holiday video serves as a reminder of the lighter moments in sports, blending team spirit with festive fun. Fans eagerly anticipate the full release of the video, which promises to bring joy and excitement during this holiday season.
