Jason and Kylie Kelce’s Christmas will be a special one.

This year marks the couple’s first Christmas as a family of five, having welcomed daughter Bennett in March.

Speaking with PEOPLE about her holiday season plans while debuting her family’s 2023 Christmas card, Kylie opened up about how she and the Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, are looking forward to seeing Bennett soak up her first Christmas.

“I’m excited just to have her there. She’s very much an observant kid,” Kylie shares.

“She is just along for the ride. The poor thing, typical third kid, just carted everywhere with us,” she laughs. “She’s always under someone’s arm going along with the flow.”

Kylie says that at 8 months, Bennett is “in a very reactive phase right now.”

“So she’s smiling and laughing and she’s clapping and so it’ll be really fun for her to maybe try and open a present,” the mom of three shares. “But mostly, just sit by and watch the excitement of sisters because she really does feed off of their energy, and so I’m sure she’ll be clapping the whole morning for them.”

Jason and Kylie also share daughters Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 3. Elsewhere in the chat, Kylie talked about the best part of spending the holidays with the Kelce family.

“Throughout football season, we have a lot of situations where, if there’s a big game or something like that, everyone will be in for the weekend, and that’s awesome. Every so often we luck out and get my mother-in-law and father-in-law in at the same time. Sometimes we get Jason’s aunt and uncle,” she says.

The holidays bring a whole new level of joy and fun to what are already memorable get-togethers.

“Really just the prospect of having everyone descend and have as many Kelces and Blalocks, which is his mom’s side of the family, in the house at the same time, is enough to really brighten your day,” Kylie shares.

“Because everyone’s so spread out, it’s really hard to get people together. So to get together, sit down, and enjoy dedicated family time — and to get to enjoy delicious food, the food is top of the charts — it’s just the best thing that that we can have.”

In a scene from Kelce — the feature-length Prime Video documentary that debuted earlier this year, which followed the Eagles center through the 2022-2023 season — Kylie talked about how the injuries the NFL star sustains on the field impact his life at home as well.

“I don’t think people realize the beating you’re taking then impacts the way you interact with your family,” she said in a confessional.

Jason plays with his toddler daughters in the scene when Kylie tells Wyatt, who threw herself around as she sings the team’s cheer, that she needs to give her dad a break, “because dad did a lot of hard work yesterday.”

“He’s been telling me for years that he was going to retire and now we are expecting our third daughter,” she added.

“I always tell people that no matter what happens with football, how it ends, I would like him to retire when he’s still able to get down on the floor and play with our kids comfortably.”
