Love Actually: A Favorite With “Zero Christmas Spirit”
Travis Kelce confessed that Love Actually, the beloved 2003 romantic comedy, is his favorite film to watch during the holidays. Despite its iconic status, Travis admitted the movie doesn’t exactly exude traditional Christmas vibes.
“I actually enjoyed Love Actually,” Travis told Jason and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce on the podcast. While Kylie was quick to agree, Jason’s reaction was more critical.
“I enjoyed the movie. It was okay,” Jason remarked, but then took a jab, saying, “There was zero Christmas spirit or anything resembling that.” He further added, “Love Actually might be the worst Christmas movie I’ve ever seen. I don’t even know that it’s up for debate.”
The Kelce brothers reminisced about scenes from the movie, with Travis singling out the famous cue card confession by Andrew Lincoln’s Mark to Keira Knightley’s Juliet. “The cards? Yeah, that’s like the most romantic way to tell someone you’re in love with them,” Travis, who is currently dating pop star Taylor Swift, commented.
Taylor Swift’s Favorite Holiday Film: Travis Calls It “Terrifying”
On another episode of the podcast, Travis was urged by Kylie Kelce to review Taylor Swift’s favorite Christmas movie—also revealed to be Love Actually. His take? Less than enthusiastic.
“I found the plotline of the movie terrifying,” Travis confessed. Although he acknowledged the film was “interesting” and “fun,” he criticized its dramatic storylines and far-fetched connections between characters.
“What’s crazy is that all of these stories tie together in one community, and it’s supposed to make it look like this is what happens,” Travis said, calling the film “unrelatable” and questioning its categorization as a Christmas movie.
Jason, who had also been reluctant to watch the cult classic, voiced his frustration over being “forced” into it. “I’m giving an honest review, not swayed by an ulterior motive,” Jason quipped.
A Divisive Holiday Tradition
The Kelce family’s banter about Love Actually has left fans divided. While Travis and Kylie seem to enjoy the film for its charm and romance, Jason remains unimpressed, describing it as lacking holiday cheer.
Interestingly, Taylor Swift had once expressed her love for the film in a 2014 Teen Vogue interview, famously saying, “If you look around, love actually is all around.”
Whether a heartfelt classic or a “terrifying” melodrama, Love Actually has proven to be a contentious holiday topic—even in the Kelce household. Fans of the podcast can look forward to more candid, hilarious debates as the holiday season unfolds.
