Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce-inspired Christmas rom-com and how to watch it in the UK

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's whirlwind romance has captured the hearts of fans, and now it seems a film inspired by their love story is set to hit our screens.

Lifetime, an American TV channel, has unveiled its annual Christmas movie line-up, with 12 new films scheduled for release every week from November 16 until December 22.

The selection caters to all romance enthusiasts, featuring fantasy, workplace dramas, and small-town love stories. However, one plotline stands out as particularly familiar.

Christmas in the Spotlight tells the tale of a blossoming romance between a pop star (Jessica Lord) and a professional football player (Laith Wallschleger).

Christmas in the Spotlight plot explained

Bowyn, a renowned musician and celebrity known for her love songs, struggles to find time for dating due to her hectic schedule. That is until she crosses paths with Drew, and they instantly connect, reports the Mirror.

The official synopsis states: "When Drew publicly declares he has a crush on Bowyn, they decide to give dating a shot, much to the excitement of her manager Mira (Jeannie Mai). With each passing day they spend together, their feelings grow stronger... but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules?".

"With people questioning if their feelings for each other are real or just for show, the pressure mounts from the press, paparazzi, their fans and even their family, including Drew's sister-in-law, Nicole (Haley Kalil). The pair has until the end of the holiday season to decide if they want to stay together, or let it go down in flames."

Christmas in the Spotlight's cast

The cast of the upcoming romantic film features relatively unknown actors. The lead actress, Jessica Lord, is a British-Canadian performer who gained recognition for her role in Hulu's 2018 dramedy, Find Me in Paris.

She also appeared in The Next Step, a teen drama centred around a group of dancers vying for a prestigious championship title.

Laith Wallschleger has had several roles on television, including parts in ABC's comedy Grown-ish, Ryan Murphy's highly praised drama 9-1-1, and FX's limited series American Sports Story.

Where can it be viewed in the UK?

Unfortunately, there is no official streaming service in the UK where the upcoming film can be watched.

Lifetime is only accessible in America and they have not yet announced a UK release for this year's Christmas films. This means that to watch it, you would need to travel to the US. If you needed an excuse...

Until further updates, we can only observe the real-life romance between Taylor and Travis unfold.
