Fly Eagles Fly... Even on Christmas Day: A Look at the Philly Special Christmas Album
Let's face it, folks. Football season and Christmas cheer go together like peanut butter and jelly (or, as we say here in Philly, cheesesteaks and wit). So, it was only a matter of time before the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in and delivered a holiday gift unlike any other: A Philly Special Christmas album.
Now, you might be thinking, "Christmas carols sung by a bunch of linemen? This is gonna be about as smooth as a fumble recovery." But hold your horses (or reindeer, as the case may be). This album is a hilarious, heartwarming mishmash of festive classics and Eagles-themed surprises.

Touchdown Tunes: A Tracklist Breakdown
Here's a sneak peek at some of the gems you'll find on this touchdown of an album:
Christmas classics with an Eagles twist: Buckle up for "The Christmas Song" featuring the smooth vocals of Amos Lee, and "This Christmas" with the legendary Patti LaBelle. Who knew Donovan McNabb had such a soulful successor?
Holiday hits with a helping of "Fly Eagles Fly": Get ready to belt out "All I Want for Christmas is You" with everyone's favorite Aussie punt god, Jordan Mailata. And yes, there's even a "Fairytale of Philadelphia" rendition (though we can't guarantee it'll be quite as epic as the original).
Bonus tracks that'll have you chuckling: We're talking "The Dreidel Song" featuring Howie Roseman (because Hanukkah miracles are welcome in Philly too!), and the dulcet tones of Merrill Reese narrating "The Night Before Christmas."
This album is more than just carols; it's a celebration of Philly, football, and family. It's the perfect soundtrack to decorating your Christmas tree with mini-helmets, spiking the eggnog with a little Eagles spirit, and dreaming of Super Bowl rings under the mistletoe.
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
Pro tip: This album also makes a fantastic (and slightly terrifying) secret Santa gift for your die-hard Eagles fan coworker.
