Kelce joined the band to sing the song ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles matchup with the Washington Commanders at the Lincoln Financial Field on Nov. 14
Jason Kelce is continuing his streak of wowing fans with Christmas songs!
On Thursday, Nov, 14, the retired NFL star, 37, joined Mt. Joy on stage for a special performance of their song “Santa Drives An Astrovan,” from Jason’s Philadelphia-themed annual holiday album, A Philly Special Christmas Party.
The fun performance of the song — which was released on Friday. Nov. 15 — came ahead of a game between his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
In a video of the moment, shared in a joint post by the Eagles, the NFL, A Philly Special Christmas and Mt. Joy on Instagram, the former Eagles center stepped out of a car in a pair of gray-blue overalls and waved at cheering fans, as the caption, “Jason Kelce joins Mt. Joy to perform ‘Santa Drives an Astro Van,’ ” appeared in text over the clip.
Kelce then appeared on stage talking to the crowd. “This goes a long way to help to promote this album, which is going to help a lot of families around this area, around the holidays. So thank you so much for supporting,” he said, referring to A Philly Special Christmas Party.
“Lets get ready for this football game and enjoy one last song,” he continued, before adding, “Lets go baby!”
The video then showed several moments from the performance, including Kelce singing a verse and chorus from the song, footage of the crowd enjoying themselves and the NFL star standing at the mic while holding a stuffed toy.
“Jason Kelce & Mt. Joy collab is everything Philly needed & more 🎶,” the post was captioned.
The song is a Christmas-themed reworking of Mt. Joy’s ever-popular 2016 debut single “Astrovan.”
Footage of the joint performance was also shared by a fan on X (formerly Twitter), which showed Kelce holding and shaking a banana-shaped maraca on stage as the song began, throwing a large yellow teddy bear into the crowd and other assorted clips from his cameo with the band.
“I don’t know if this is the right thing to do,” he said on the podcast, per the outlet. “The Eagles are about to play the most important game of the year, they’re playing the Washington Commanders, and me and Mt. Joy are gonna go in there before the game kicks off and perform a Christmas song.”
