A Philly Special Christmas is a Christmas album created by the Philadelphia Eagles' Jason Kelce. Jordan Mailata, and Lane Johnson to support kids in philadelphia.
To close out the trilogy in its third and final year, we wanted to create something truly Unique-a deluxe box set. This special edition included all three albums, along with CDs and magnets, making it a keepsake for years to come.
The cover design captured the spirit of this year's theme: giving back to the community, spreading love, joy, and the gift of giving. On the back of the community, spreading love, joy, and the gift of giving. On the back of the album. we turned the spotlight on the heart of philadelphia-celebrating the people who make this community vibrant and strong.
Over the course of three years, we built a library of hundreds of characters, ranging from Philly legends to musical icons. Here are some of Our all-time favorites.
The inspiration behind Operation Snowball came from Kelce's desire to reflect the unbreakable spirit of Philadelphia. "Philly's so special. I don't know that anything like this would have been possible anywhere else," Kelce said, describing the collaborative effort that made the initiative a reality.
The project was kickstarted with a generous donation of nearly $1 million worth of toys from children's entertainment company Spin Master, known for brands like PAW Patrol and Rubik's Cube. In addition to Spin Master, a range of global partners, including Just Play, Fanatics, QVC and Jazwares, joined forces to support the cause.
All proceeds from the Philly Specials' third holiday album, A Philly Special Christmas Party, will fund Operation Snowball, with donations benefiting the Fund for the School District of Philadelphia. As Operation Snowball continues to grow, its impact is clear: It's not just about toys, it's about creating lasting memories and celebrating the heart of Philadelphia's community this holiday season.
