Philly Specials return with a new Christmas treat but will not release an album this year.
The Philly Specials, a musical ensemble consisting of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and current offensive tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, have garnered a festive reputation over the past three years with their holiday-themed music. This group has successfully released three albums dedicated to the Christmas season, generating over million for charitable causes in the Philadelphia area through their musical endeavors.
As October concluded, The Philly Specials announced a new initiative for the holiday season, although it does not involve the release of another music album. Instead, the group has unveiled a limited edition collector’s item in collaboration with Just Play Toys: the “holiday huddle plush collector set.” This unique offering features plush dolls of Kelce, Johnson, and Mailata, each designed to capture the essence of these fan-favorite players through custom green knit holiday sweaters that display their respective numbers and names on the back.
The dolls range in size from 8.5 to 9.25 inches and are packaged in a luxurious collector’s box, making them ideal for display. This special set is currently available for preorder online at a price of .99, with all proceeds earmarked for local charities in Philadelphia. The organization continues its commitment to giving back to the community, particularly during the holiday season. Customers can expect their items to ship during the week of November 24.
In addition to their merchandising efforts, The Philly Specials have previously utilized funds raised from their music projects to support various philanthropic initiatives. For instance, the proceeds from their third album were directed towards launching “Operation Snowball,” a campaign that provided Christmas gifts to every public and charter school student and teacher in Philadelphia. This holiday giveaway underscored the group’s dedication to enhancing the lives of families and children in their community.
As the holiday season approaches, The Philly Specials are poised to resonate even more with fans, not just through their beloved music but also via these charming plush collectibles, further solidifying their role as ambassadors of good will and holiday spirit in Philadelphia.
