In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the game, Donna called her edgy pants “really fun,” and revealed their special, function-minded feature. “They’re stylish in the front, but there’s a party in the back because they’re just regular cloth,” she shared. “Leather pants get really hot. So you need the back of your leather pants to be cloth so that you can air things out.”

Donna even said she likes the leather pants “better than just regular ones.”

“It is very comfortable sitting. You don’t get hot, you don’t get, you know — it’s just nice,” she explained.

The first movie is set in Philadelphia, where her sonJason Kelceplayed for the Eagles before retiring earlier this year, and the second takes place in Kansas City, Travis' NFL stomping grounds. “It’s so much fun for them to be doing the movie in Kansas City for the first time and being in the stadium that I’ve been here for the past 11 years,” Donna said of her special connection toHoliday Touchdown’s filming location.

As for whether fans can expect to see her tackle more acting projects in the future, Donna teased, “Who knows? You never know that kind of thing.”

“But for right now that was kind of fun for me. It was enough,” she continued. “I just really had a good time with everybody at Hallmark. They treated me so well, and I’m just really excited that I got to do this. It was just a dream come true.”

While Donna is making a name for herself in the acting world, she hasnavigated her pro athlete sons' famefor years. Last month, she toldGlamourthat it’s challenging to go anywhere publicly as a family, particularly since Travis, 35, began dating Swift, 34, last year. “If we want to do something, you have to rent out the restaurant or the movie theater or whatever,” she said. “I do get to sneak away every once in a while, and we go to places that nobody knows where they are.”

Donna previously told PEOPLE that whilebeing in the spotlightmeans “everybody knows everything about our family,” she was embracing the many exciting opportunities that were coming her way. “I am having the time of my life now, more than ever,” she said in September of her own growing fame.
