Philadelphia Eagles’ Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson are back with another Christmas album and Billy Penn’s Asha Prihar got the chance to check it out before its official release date.

Last year’s album “A Philly Special Christmas” was a big hit making the Billboard charts and raising $1.25 million for charity.

The new album, “A Philly Special Christmas Special,” which was also recorded in Conshohocken, has a unique theme this year: a holiday variety show.

“Christmas is this time where everybody remembers Claymations and The Muppet Show, and all these Christmas shows – and they’re usually cartoons,” Connor Barwin, the record’s executive producer, former Eagles and current team director of player development said. “So let’s make a Christmas special. And let’s set it in Philadelphia.

In her review, Prihar said Kelce, Mailata and Johnson were the “holiday angels you want to hear.”

She called the album “an eclectic, 11-track mix of heartfelt classics, quirky holiday tracks, and well-loved pop tunes – plus a Jason Kelce original.”

She lauded Mailata for his harmonizing on ‘The Christmas Song’ and for his fun duet with Patti LaBelle in ‘This Christmas.’

And she said Kelce’s rendition of ‘Dominick the Donkey’ is true to his fun personality.
