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.

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.

“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.”

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, I’ve fought my whole life to be the queen of Christmas and the fact that we’re finally there … it’s just really special.”

“Maybe This Christmas” was released on Nov. 8, while A Philly Special Christmas Party will arrive on Nov. 22.
