I dont 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, theyre playing the Washington Commanders, and me and Mt. Joy are gonna go in there before the game kicks off and perform a Christmas song.
Ultimately, the game ended with the Eagles beating the Commanders 26 18.
During the Nov. 12 episode of the podcast, Kelce discussed his Christmas song with Stevie Nicks, a duet cover of Maybe This Christmas, which is also featured on the album and this week topped the iTunes 100 Holiday chart. Landing the top position on the charts meant that the song beat Mariah Carey, who is at the No. 2 spot with her classic track, All I Want for Christmas.
Travis, 35, asked how the achievement felt, to which Jason playfully replied, You know, Ive fought my whole life to be the queen of Christmas and the fact that were finally there its just really special.
Maybe This Christmas was released on Nov. 8, while A Philly Special Christmas Party will arrive on Nov. 22.
