KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 24, 2024 — The Kansas City Chiefs have released “A Kingdom Christmas Story: Hail Merry,” a charming and heartwarming silent claymation short film, on their official YouTube and social media channels. This release precedes the team’s NFL Christmas Day game, streaming on Netflix.
The short film features claymation versions of Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid, QB Patrick Mahomes, TE Travis Kelce, DT Chris Jones, RB Isiah Pacheco, DE George Karlaftis, and CB Trent McDuffie. A bouncing football plays a surprisingly crucial role in the story, as these Chiefs characters help reunite a busy family around a Chiefs game, reminding viewers of the importance of dreams and holiday magic.
“Christmas is a special time, and we wanted to give Chiefs Kingdom a unique gift before our Christmas Day game on Netflix,” said Lara Krug, Chief Media and Marketing Officer for the Kansas City Chiefs. “The claymation style evokes a nostalgic feeling, and we believe many will connect with the family scenes. We’re incredibly proud of this original film and hope our fans enjoy a memorable Chiefs Christmas Eve story.”
