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.
“What’s up everybody! Thank y’all for coming out,” Kelce told the crowd, according to a fan video posted on X. “This goes a long way to help me 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.”
Kelce proceeded to use a banana shaker as an instrument before taking the microphone for his verse. He later threw a giant teddy bear to a fan as the crowd roared along with the song.
The song is the latest single from Kelce’s upcoming holiday album, A Philly Special Christmas Party, which is set to be released on November 29. The third annual project once again brings Kelce together with his former Eagles teammates,
Earlier this week, Jason shared his apprehension about the live performance with Mt. Joy during the Wednesday, November 13, episode of his and brother Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.
“I don’t know if this is the right thing to do,” he said. “The Eagles are about to play, like, 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 because we wanna help raise money for the album.”
“We initially were like, ‘We’re just gonna do something in the parking lot. It’ll be fun. Just to get it on video to help promote it,’” he explained. “And somehow it’s turned into we full-on have a stage in the Linc … and we’re just gonna be performing this song right before the most important game of the Eagles’ season to date takes place.”
