The NFL’s beloved Jason Kelce continues to win hearts even after hanging up his cleats, bringing his signature charm to his new role at ESPN.

As the holiday season approaches, the former Eagles center had a special treat in store for football fans nationwide.

The holiday spirit was in full swing on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown when Kelce, now 37, transformed into Santa Claus for the December 23rd broadcast.

Decked out in full Santa attire, he brought festive cheer to the pre-game show ahead of the Saints-Packers clash at Lambeau Field.

Social media lit up as ESPN shared the clip on X, with fans showering praise on Kelce’s jolly performance.

“He’s feeling the Christmas spirit,” one fan commented, while another chimed in, “He is awesome. Makes me laugh! Go Kelce!!!”

The enthusiasm spread as more fans joined in, with one dubbing him “Santa Kelce ” and another declaring, “Santa Kelce out here delivering touchdowns and holiday cheer—NFL just got way more festive. ”

Even Travis Kelce couldn’t resist joining the fun. The Chiefs’ star tight end and three-time Super Bowl champion shared his brother’s picture, adding two crying-with-laughter emojis and an enthusiastic message:

“Let’s gooo!! Gonna have to tune in for this one!”

The festive fun didn’t stop there. Taking his Santa duties seriously, Kelce was spotted spreading holiday cheer among early-arriving Packers fans at Lambeau Field, handing out cheese in a playful nod to Green Bay’s famous “cheeseheads” nickname.
