Jason Kelce pulled out all the stops for the third and final Philly Specials holiday album — including a duet with his wife, Kylie Kelce.
Kylie, 32, joins Jason, 37, on the song “Loud Little Town,” which dropped Friday, November 22, on A Philly Special Christmas Party. “It’s so quiet now in our loud little town,” the married couple croon together on the song’s chorus.
Along with Kylie’s cameo, the new album from Jason and his former Philadelphia Eagles teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson features collabs with Travis Kelce, Mt. Joy, Boyz II Men and Stevie Nicks.
“The legendary Stevie Nicks came on and did a duet with me, which in itself is, like, pretty crazy to actually be on a track with Stevie Nicks.” Jason gushed during an October episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “I mean, absolutely unreal.”
Jason described the Fleetwood Mac singer as “one of the nicest people I’ve ever talked to,” praising her “absolutely beautiful personality.”
He added, “You could tell she loves people, she loves music, she loves the art of making music. [She] brought a breath of fresh air into the recording studio.”
The pair’s song, “Maybe This Christmas,” eventually bumped Mariah Carey‘s holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” from the No. 1 spot on iTunes. “I’ve fought my whole life to be the Queen of Christmas,” Jason teased during a subsequent episode of his and Travis’ podcast. “And the fact that we’re finally there is just really special.”
Jason and his teammates previously dropped A Philly Special Christmas in 2022, followed by A Philly Special Christmas Special in 2023. Like with their first two albums, the trio are giving back to their community this holiday season.
“ANNOUNCING OPERATION SNOWBALL! A Citywide Special Initiative To GIVE A GIFT TO EVERY KID IN PHILLY PUBLIC SCHOOLS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON 🎁❄️,” read an Instagram caption on Thursday, November 21. “For the past two years we’ve donated over 4 million to various charities that support children in the Philly area and beyond. This year – the third and final year – we are going BIGGER!”
Jason Kelce brought the holiday spirit when he performed his new Christmas song with Mt. Joy, “Santa Drives an Astrovan,” ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders game. The retired NFL star, 37, joined the indie rock band — comprised of members Matt Quinn, Sam Cooper, Sotiris Eliopoulos, Jackie Miclau and Michael Byrnes — […]
The post continued, “Jason, Jordan and Lane have enlisted some verrry special Philly friends to help us reach our goal, but we’re gonna need YOU. To everyone who has ever purchased, commented, or shared A Philly Special Christmas, WE THANK YOU! But the work’s not done yet!”
In a separate upload, the Philly Specials laid out different ways for fans to help Operation Snowball succeed, including making a direct donation to The Fund for the School District of Philadelphia. Contributions can also be made by purchasing A Philly Special Christmas Party on vinyl or buying a limited-edition CD in select stores on release day.
