UPDATE: Jason Kelce has made headlines after vehemently defending Christmas against a controversial claim that Halloween is a superior holiday. During a bonus episode of the New Heights podcast, released on November 21, 2023, Kelce, 38, did not hold back when a caller named Thaddeus stated, “Halloween is actually a better holiday than Christmas.”
The fiery exchange escalated quickly, with Jason cutting Thaddeus off, declaring, “You’re a f***ing idiot, Thaddeus.” While Thaddeus acknowledged that Christmas has its charm, he insisted that Halloween boasts “better all-around vibes,” citing the fun of spooking kids and playing pranks.
Jason retaliated passionately, stating, “Christmas is the greatest holiday on the planet. There’s not even something that compares to it.” He argued that the joy of Christmas—decorations, parties, and the excitement of gift-giving—far outweighs any Halloween festivities. “I’m trying to think in what world someone would think Halloween was better, and the only thing that makes sense is their parents gave them a s***ty Christmas,” he added, directing a humorous jab at Thaddeus’ upbringing.
Despite his love for Halloween, Jason argued that it pales in comparison to Christmas, even going as far as to compare their signature candies. “Candy corn is s***,” he stressed, making a clear distinction between Halloween and Christmas treats.
The Kelce family’s own holiday experiences add a personal touch to Jason’s views. He and his wife, Kylie Kelce, navigate Halloween festivities with their four daughters. “For me, my costumes now are just essentially what my kids wanna wear,” Jason revealed in a previous podcast episode. This year, he donned a Kristoff costume to match his daughters, who chose to dress as characters from Disney’s Frozen.
Kylie also shared her Halloween struggles on her podcast, recalling a chaotic last-minute costume change when one of their daughters decided against being Ariel just before leaving the house. “In the last — I’m talking the very last — minute before we leave, Wyatt decides she doesn’t wanna be Ariel,” she said, highlighting the humorous unpredictability of family life during the holidays.
As the debate over holiday supremacy heats up, fans are weighing in on social media, igniting a lively discussion about their own preferences. What is clear is that Jason Kelce’s passionate defense of Christmas is sure to spark more holiday debates in the weeks to come.
Stay tuned for further updates on this festive feud and what else the Kelce family has in store for their holiday celebrations!
