Christmas Eve appearances had become a tradition for many, and fans are divided on the change.
Some welcome a holiday free from game-day stress, while others will miss having Chiefs football in the background.
Many are pleased that players and coaches can spend the holiday with their families.
Despite the empty schedule, fans still plan to watch football or revisit past Super Bowl victories.
Regardless of the holiday break, playoff expectations remain high.
