Jason Kelce is making vacation memories with his girls.
In an exclusive clip from the family’s 2023 holiday card shoot in partnership with Minted, the Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, reads Clement Clarke Moore’s classic “A Visit from St. Nicholas” to daughters Bennett, 8 months, Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 3.
Wyatt and Bennett listened, nestled on mom Kylie Kelce’s lap, while the baby was delightfully distracted playing with mom’s hair. Elliotte was sitting on her father’s lap. In the middle of the picture book, the family startles when they hear “ho, ho, ho!”
“Oh my god! That even surprised dad,” Jason said as Santa approached the family of five.
“I’ve come to see you all,” Santa said, bending down to make eye contact with the children.

“Oh my God,” Elliotte gasped, then composed herself and asked, “Can I have the dinosaurs?”
“I’ll do everything I can for you this year,” said Santa.
Wyatt then chimed in, saying, “I want a Barbie!”
The final scene showed Jason reading the last line of the poem to his family, proclaiming, “Merry Christmas everyone and good night everyone!”

Speaking to PEOPLE about the magic of the holiday season, the 31-year-old mom of three said the best part is the joy of “getting us all in one place.”
“We have a lot of situations during football season where if there’s a big game or something, everyone’s going to be ready for the weekend, and that’s great. Every so often we get lucky and get my mother-in-law and father-in-law at the same time. Sometimes Jason’s aunt comes over and uncle,” she said.
Holidays bring a whole new level of joy and fun to already unforgettable gatherings.
“Really just being able to get everyone down and have as many Kelce and Blalocks in the house as possible, which is my mom’s side of the family, is enough to really make your day,” Kylie said.
“Because everyone is so spread out, it’s really hard to get people together. So to get together, sit down and enjoy dedicated family time – and enjoy delicious food, the food is top of the charts – it’s just the best thing that we can have.”
