It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas with the latest (Philadelphia) Eagles holiday album. 

The O-line trio of Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata have gotten back together for their second holiday album, A Philly Special Christmas Special. Last year's album, A Philly Special Christmas, was a hit. Donations from the album go directly to charity, and the debut record raised $1.25 million. This year, proceeds will go to the Children's Crisis Treatment Center and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Get NFL Game Pass to watch every regular and postseason match, including the Super Bowl - All live and on demand.

Two songs from the new album have already been released: "All I Want for Christmas is You" sung by Mailata and "This Christmas" with Mailata and Philly native Patti LaBelle. The next single includes another high-profile featured artist.

Kelce brothers Christmas Song

Fans can hear the voice of sudden pop culture crossover sensation Travis Kelce on the third single. He joins his older brother for a duet on the song "A Fairytale of Philadelphia," which releases just days before a Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl rematch on "Monday Night Football".

They announced the song's release on the latest episode of their podcast, "New Heights".

"Not saying it was good by any means, I'm just saying they made it sound extremely better than what I felt like I left that studio thinking," said the Chiefs star.

In a behind-the-scenes video of the process of the song's recording, Jason got emotional about the reworked classic. "I think it could be a look at the relationship of two brothers and how much you're wrapped up in your family's lives and how much that impacts where you end up in life."

We'll see if Travis has taken any notes from Taylor Swift when the song is available on music streaming platforms Wednesday.

So far, "A Fairytale of Philadelphia" is a hit. Is there a Grammy-award in Jason and Travis Kelce's future?
