TravisandJason Kelceare proud sons!

On the latest episode of theirNew Heightspodcast, the brothers boast about their momDonna Kelce’s acting chops — soon to be on view in two new Hallmark movies premiering this month.

Despite not previously being a part of the Hallmark movie-watching demographic, Jason said he’s looking forward to seeing Mama Kelce under the bright lights.

“Got to admit, I have not seen a lot of Hallmark movies,” Jason, 37, told his younger brother. “I’m excited to watch this one.”

The brothers then discussed Donna’s role inHollywood Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,in which she plays the manager of a barbecue restaurant.

“Mom can cook a lot of things, I don’t think she’s ever made barbecue for us,” Jason said. “Not even barbecue sauce … that was dad’s deal.”

The Ohio natives then reminisced onEd Kelce’s deceptively winning recipe.

“This thing is nothing but other sauces and other condiments combined to make one sauce,” Jason joked, while Travis, 35, laughed.

InHollywood Touchdown, Donna, 72, plays Donna, a manager of a Kansas City barbecue restaurant called Norma & Nic’s. In the trailer, she is seen wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey with Travis’ No. 87 on the back.

The film follows Chiefs superfan Alana (Hunter King) as she competes in the team’s “Fan of the Year” contest and meets Derrick (Tyler Hynes), who is tasked with evaluating her in the contest.

Meanwhile, the mother of two and grandmother of three also makes a special appearance inChristmas on Call, which, according to the network’s official logline, centers around “the lives of first responders in Philadelphia” who “intersect over the holiday season while juggling work, personal lives, and their dedication to protect and serve their city.”

Ser’Darius Blain plays Wes, an EMT and devout Eagles fan who helps a new ER doctor named Hannah (Sara Canning) find her way around the city. Because no tour of Philly is complete without a cheesesteak, they stop at a popular spot where they meet Donna’s character.
