Donna Kelcedoesn’t play favorites — and that rule isn’t exclusive to football.

The mom of NFL prosJasonandTravis Kelceisappearing in Hallmark Channel’s upcoming Kansas City-set Christmas movie,Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, in support of Travis' team — but PEOPLE can exclusively reveal she’ll also appear in a movie set in Philadelphia, where Jason used to play as a center for the Eagles.

Donna, 71, will make 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. Of course, no tour of Philly is complete without a cheesesteak, and their stop at a popular Philly cheesesteak spot leads them to meet Donna.

As you can see in the exclusive photo above, Mama Kelce is decked out in an Eagles jersey. She makes sure Hannah orders her cheesesteak the authentic way: “whiz wit.”

But that’s not the only Kelce connection inChristmas on Call.

The track, “Santa Drives an Astrovan,” features Mt. Joy and is from the group’s upcoming album A Philly Special Christmas Party, the proceeds from which will benefit Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
