Travis, Jason Kelce joined by Boyz II Men for Christmas song

The Kelce Brothers got soul — and they’re proving it with their new holiday collaboration with Boyz II Men.
Jason and Travis Kelce’s latest musical offering, “It’s Christmastime (In Cleveland Heights),” dropped Friday and it delivers heavy on the rhythm and blues.
The track will be featured on the upcoming holiday album “A Philly Special Christmas Party” — an annual project Jason produces under the shingle of The Philly Specials with former Philadelphia Eagles teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson — due out Nov. 22.

“This is a shout-out to everyone all around the world who’s thinking about home this Christmas,” Travis says at the beginning of the song, which details the NFL superstars returning to their Midwest hometown after some time away.
Boyz II Men, the 1990s hitmakers hailing from Philadelphia, where Jason played for 13 seasons, harmonizes the refrain: “It feels so good to be back home again with all my family and friends/ Sharing gifts and memories/ We make under the Christmas tree.”

“I always have a blast when I get to join the guys on the Christmas album, but it was wild to be on a song with a group as iconic and timeless as Boyz II Men,” Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis said in a press statement. “My friends and I grew up on their music, and it’s still in the rotation today, so it was just an unreal experience.”
The Super Bowl champion siblings previously collaborated on “Fairytale of Philadelphia” from last year’s “A Philly Special Christmas Special.”
Bolstered by Travis’s red hot romance with pop music star Taylor Swift, the song reached No. 1 on iTunes.
On their popular “New Heights” podcast, Jason took a moment to show gratitude to the “Shake It Off” singer’s massive fan base.
“We owe a big thanks to one group in particular, besides the 92%ers, and that’s the Swifties, ’cause the Swifties came out,” he shared.
“I sent out one tweet when it got to eight, and I got, like, 85 tweets from Swifties across the world saying, ‘Oh, you think eight’s good? We’re taking this to No. 1,’ and they did. It’s a powerful group, it’s a powerful group of people.”
“A Philly Special Christmas Special” raised over $3 million and featured covers of “This Christmas” and “All I Want for Christmas is You.”
