Travis Kelce can always be counted on for a laugh when it comes to his nieces, and he got just that from a behind-the-scenes video of his brother Jason Kelce’s chaotic but adorable holiday card photo shoot. The proud uncle couldn’t help but comment on the hilarious moments from the Kelce family’s 2023 holiday shoot, shared by his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce on Instagram.
The video shows Jason and Kylie trying to wrangle their three daughters—Wyatt (3), Elliotte (2), and Bennett (8 months)—for the family’s annual holiday card, a tradition they’ve been part of with Minted for the past few years. In true Kelce fashion, the behind-the-scenes footage is full of funny commentary from the couple as they attempt to keep their kids (and the dogs) in line for the photoshoot.
“A Long Season” of Family Chaos
Jason, known for his playful humor, can be seen shaking his head and saying, “It’s gonna be a long season. You can tell.” Meanwhile, Kylie takes the role of the organized parent, reminding the girls to keep their “hands to ourselves” and “turn around” for the photos. As Jason wrangles the kids and tries to get everyone into position, he humorously quips, “I am prepared for football. I am not prepared for the holiday season.”
Despite the chaos, Kylie, with a smile, adds, “Preparation was making sure that we had a nutritious breakfast … because we were about to bribe the livin’ daylights out of these children.” True to her words, Elliotte is seen happily munching on a donut while Jason shares a moment with her, showing that this shoot is indeed as much about endurance as it is about getting the perfect shot.
The Challenge of Holiday Card Photoshoots
Speaking with PEOPLE, Kylie shared her insights into the family effort involved in making the holiday shoot a success. “Jason and I definitely, it’s definitely a joint effort to wrangle our children. There’s all hands going out to grab whoever we can, to make sure that we can keep them as close as possible.” She laughed, acknowledging that having the dogs involved this year added a whole new level of challenge.
The result was a fun, lively shoot that reflected the chaos and love of their family life.
Travis Kelce: The “Epitome of an Uncle”
In the midst of the playful chaos, Kylie also shared a heartwarming anecdote about how Travis has become the “absolute best” uncle to her daughters. Despite his busy schedule with the Chiefs, Travis is known for being a dedicated and enthusiastic uncle. Kylie joked that Jason once said, “I think they might like him more than they like me,” and it’s easy to see why.
Travis goes above and beyond to entertain his nieces. Kylie recalls how the girls will demand Travis’ attention when he visits their house. “He comes to our house to visit and the poor guy doesn’t sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, ‘No, no, you sit on the floor. We’re gonna do a puzzle. We’re gonna build blocks. We’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do that,’” she said.
“Wyatt, she’s our boss. She’s our ring leader, and she just has demand after demand for him,” she continued. “And I’m like, ‘Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t think I can.’ And so he will do it.”
Travis, ever the good sport, willingly takes on whatever task Wyatt commands—from jumping up and down to rolling on the floor and even pretending to be a pony. “He is all-in when it comes to being an uncle. He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through,” Kylie concluded with pride.
