The Philly Specials unveil limited edition Eagles plushies – NBC10 Philadelphia

If your holiday shopping list includes an Eagles fan — or if you’re an Eagles fan yourself — this one is for you.

Football’s favorite festive trio, former Eagle Jason Kelce, and current Eagles linemen Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson, better known as The Philly Specials, are back to spread holiday cheer with their annual charitable initiative, Operation Snowball.

Starting November 7, at 9 a.m. ET, The Philly Specials, in partnership with Just Play, will open pre-orders for The Holiday Huddle, a collectible set of plushies in the likeness of the players dressed in festive midnight green sweaters embroidered with their names and numbers.

Sized between 8.5 and 9.25 inches, organizers said this 3-pack of ultra-life-like collectible plushies comes ready to squish and makes the perfect gift.

Pre-orders for the $49.99 plushie set can be made by visiting The Philly Specials’ official website. Orders are expected to ship the week of Thanksgiving.

“Making music with my friends and donating to organizations committed to making the lives of Philadelphia families and students brighter during the holidays has been a highlight of the past three years,” Jordan Mailata said in a news release. “We are looking forward to bringing the joy back again this year with proceeds from the new plushies, and a few other surprises.”

In addition to the plushies, Bird fans can purchase A Philly Special Box Set of all three albums on vinyl and CD, A Philly Special Christmas Party on vinyl and CD, and greeting cards.  

“When we released the first album, A Philly Special Christmas, we had no idea how impactful it would be – for both the organizations we supported and the joy we were able to spread throughout the city. Last year our efforts culminated with a citywide initiative that provided a gift for every student in the School District of Philadelphia,” said Vera Y Records and Operation Snowball executive producer Connor Barwin. “We are excited to continue the tradition of giving and fun with new surprises for a fourth holiday season this year.”
