Jason Kelce & Philadelphia Eagles Teammates Put Their Spin on ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’

The Philadelphia Eagles are getting into the holiday spirit!
The NFL team’s Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson teamed up this year for their second festive album, A Philly Special Christmas Special, which features a freshly dropped rendition of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
The album is out December 1, and features collaborations with Patti LaBelle and Jason’s brother, Travis Kelce, who has been making headlines in recent months due to his blossoming rumored relationship with Taylor Swift. In a new episode of the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast, Travis revealed that he lent his voice to a duet with Jason for the album, but he hasn’t listened to the final version yet. “Dude I do not want to hear myself sing like that. I’ve got more of the rock voice,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end admitted.
The 1994 hit has long been a Christmas staple, but “All I Want for Christmas” never hit No. 1 until 2019 and has since ranked as the most popular holiday song of all time on the Billboard Holiday 100. Carey is slated to hit the road for her 13-date Merry Christmas One and All! tour on Nov. 15 in Highland, CA and ride her sleigh across North American until a Dec. 17 gig at Madison Square Garden in New York.
