The two also used The Song as a chance to poke fun at one another, with Travis changing up the lyrics to say to his brother " Happy Christmas , you a**".
The Song is a part of annual efforts to raise money for charity. Last Year , Jason Kelce and his Eagles teammates raised $1m (£805,000) for local Philadelphia organisations.
