Snoop Dogg to Headline Halftime of Lions-Vikings on Christmas on Netflix

This Christmas, Netflix is shaking up the playbook on holiday traditions with a halftime performance from legendary entertainer and rapper Snoop Dogg.

He will take center stage for Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party, the halftime show during Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions on Dec. 25, live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn.

Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, says, “Christmas Gameday just got a whole lot cooler. We’re uniting two global cultural juggernauts, the NFL and the one and only Snoop Dogg, who will drop the hottest halftime show. As a West Coast girl and huge fan myself, I can confidently say this is the ultimate gift we could give our members. We’re ready to drop it like it’s hot this holiday celebration!”

NFL Christmas Gameday returns to Netflix in 2025 with two marquee games that will showcase NFC division rivals facing-off. Streaming live on Netflix, Cowboys-Commanders will air at 1 p.m. ET from Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., followed by the Lions-Vikings at 4:30 pm ET from the U.S. Bank Stadium. Pregame coverage begins at 11 a.m. ET.

Last year, Netflix kicked off its inaugural Christmas Gameday with international superstar Beyoncé performing at halftime of the Ravens-Texas game. The Netflix Christmas Day games will air on CBS affiliates in the competing team cities and be available on U.S. mobile devices with NFL+. CBS Sports will produce the games, with NFL Media producing the pre, post, and halftime programming. EverWonder Studio will executive produce NFL Christmas Gameday.
