Deck the halls with boughs of holly, because A Philly Special Christmas Party officially arrived on Friday (Nov. 22) via Vera Y Records.
The project from The Philly Specials, a.k.a Jason Kelce and the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, marks the group’s third charitable holiday album. The festive set of tracks features the previously released collaboration with Jason, his brother Travis Kelce and Boyz II Men, “It’s Christmastime (In Cleveland Heights).” It also includes Jason’s team-up with Stevie Nicks on the cover of Ron Sexsmith’s “Maybe This Christmas.”
The 12-song album also features a sweet collaboration between Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, called “Loud Little Town,” an original song written by Brandon Beaver. Plus, the project is filled with holiday favorites including “Last Christmas,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Christmas Don’t Be Late,” “Feliz Navidad,” “Sleigh Ride” and more.
Proceeds from the album will be used to fund Operation Snowball, a new and ambitious initiative launched alongside The Fund for the School District of Philadelphia to that aims to give a gift to every student in the Philadelphia public school system. Additionally, The Philly Specials will be donating to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Snowflake Station and the Children’s Crisis Treatment Center Toy Drive. Albums can be purchased here.
Last year’s A Philly Special Christmas Special raised over $3 million and featured singles “This Christmas,” “All I Want for Christmas is You,” “Fairytale of Philadelphia” and “Pretty Paper.”
