Jason Kelce is set to showcase his singing talents alongside a music legend in his upcoming Christmas album. The retired Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl center, who has become known for his off-field endeavors since hanging up his cleats, is joining forces with the iconic Stevie Nicks, just in time for the holiday season.
At 36 years old, Kelce, who retired from the NFL earlier this year after a celebrated 13-season career, continues to surprise fans with his versatility. In a recent post on his popular New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, Jason shared a snapshot that sent fans into a frenzy. The photo featured Kelce and Fleetwood Mac’s legendary lead singer, Stevie Nicks, in a recording studio together.
The image shows the two standing side by side, surrounded by holiday décor, with Jason wearing a festive Christmas sweater and a small Christmas tree in the background. The caption perfectly captured the moment, reading, “The crossover we didn’t know we needed.” A microphone was spotted in the studio, signaling that Kelce and Nicks had been hard at work on what is expected to be a holiday hit.
This collaboration marks a significant addition to Kelce’s A Philly Special Christmas Party album, which is the third edition of his Christmas music series. Jason first ventured into holiday music in 2022 with fellow Eagles teammates Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, delighting fans with their unexpected vocal talents. Their first album was a surprise success, and the group quickly followed it up with a second edition last year. That album featured guest appearances from notable figures, including Travis Kelce, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, and even the iconic Patti LaBelle.

Although Jason and Lane Johnson’s vocal abilities were relatively unknown before their Christmas album debut, Jordan Mailata had already proven his singing chops, having appeared on The Masked Singer in 2022, where he impressed audiences with his powerful voice.
With the addition of Stevie Nicks, a music legend with more than 65 million records sold in the U.S. alone, Kelce’s upcoming holiday album promises to be bigger than ever. Nicks, known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist, is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential female singers in music history. Her involvement elevates the album’s star power and has fans buzzing with anticipation.
As if the lineup couldn’t get more exciting, the album will also feature the renowned Philadelphia vocal group Boyz II Men. Their contribution, along with the Nicks collaboration, sets the stage for a festive album filled with unique and memorable performances.
Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement for the album, especially about the unexpected collaboration between Kelce and Nicks. “This Christmas album is everything to me already, and I haven’t even heard it yet,” one fan commented. Another added, “I am so excited about this crossover and can’t wait until Christmas!” A third fan wrote, “I’m excited and can’t wait to hear how this collaboration came about!!”
Though it hasn’t been confirmed yet, some fans are speculating whether Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Travis Kelce, might make a surprise appearance on the album. Swift’s presence would certainly add even more star power to an already stacked lineup.
Since retiring from football in March, Jason Kelce has kept busy with numerous projects. In addition to his burgeoning music career, Kelce has signed on to be an ESPN analyst, joining the network’s Monday Night Countdown team. He also continues to co-host his hit New Heights podcast with Travis, where they discuss football, family, and everything in between.
With his post-retirement ventures, including this highly anticipated Christmas album, Jason Kelce is proving that he’s more than just an NFL legend—he’s a multi-talented star who’s only getting started.
