Fans of “Happy Gilmore” were given a gift on Christmas when the trailer for “Happy Gilmore 2” dropped.
For football fans, a familiar face — Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce — made an appearance in the trailer.
“It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore,” Kelce said in the trailer, dressed as an employee at a golf club.

Adam Sandler during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in August that Kelce would be appearing in the movie.
The sequel to “Happy Gilmore” will be released exclusively on Netflix in 2025.
Kelce is starting to venture more into acting after taking on his first major role in a show in FX’s “Grotesquerie,” which began airing in September.
