Jason & Travis Kelce Get Into the Holiday Spirit With ‘Fairytale of Philadelphia’ Duet
Written by djfrosty on November 15, 2023
‘Tis the season of Kelce! Jason Kelce recruited his brother, Travis Kelce, to take part in the Philadelphia Eagles‘ upcoming holiday album, A Philly Special Christmas Special, on Wednesday (Nov. 15) with a fitting tribute to the City of Brotherly Love, “Fairytale of Philadelphia.”
“Fairytale of Philadelphia” is a reimagining of The Pogues’ holiday classic, “Fairytale of New York,” and features the athletic siblings trading verses as they talk about what makes Philly so special. “I’ve got a feeling, this year’s for me and you / So happy Christmas, I love you brother / I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true,” Jason croons to his baby bro in the duet.
The full holiday album by Jason and his Eagles teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson, titled A Philly Christmas Special, is out December 1, and also features a collaboration with Patti LaBelle. The trio previously released their rendition of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” earlier this month. The album, which marks the trio’s sophomore festive project, features 10 holiday classics and an original track by Kelce called “Santa’s Night.”
A Philly Special Christmas Special is available now for vinyl preorder here. This year, proceeds from the vinyl sales will benefit Children’s Crisis Treatment Center’s Toy Drive and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Snowflake Station.
