Snoop Dogg headlines Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday halftime show with special performances from KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ HUNTR/X voices and country star Lainey Wilson.
Netflix is turning Christmas Day into a full-blown celebration with Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party, a star-packed musical event set to air live during Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday on December 25.
Headlined by Snoop Dogg, the festive halftime show will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during the Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions matchup. Promising music, surprises and holiday cheer, the performance is designed to bring fans together for a Christmas celebration unlike any other.
Joining Snoop on stage will be the electrifying singing voices behind HUNTR/X from Netflix’s KPOP DEMON HUNTERS. EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — whose performances helped power the film to become Netflix’s most popular movie ever and the longest-running title in the Netflix Top 10 — will make a special appearance to infuse the halftime show with global pop energy.
Also set to perform is Grammy Award-winning country sensation Lainey Wilson. The reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year, Wilson will deliver a show-stopping performance, adding a country flair to the genre-spanning holiday event.
Netflix is keeping a few surprises under wraps, teasing that fans will have to tune in on Christmas Day to see which additional guests join “Uncle Snoop” for the jolly celebration.
NFL Christmas Gameday returns to Netflix in 2025 with two high-profile NFC rivalry games streaming live. The day kicks off with the Dallas Cowboys facing the Washington Commanders at 1 p.m. ET from Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. The Minnesota Vikings then take on the Detroit Lions at 4:30 p.m. ET from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Pregame coverage begins at 11 a.m. ET.
The holiday tradition follows last year’s inaugural Netflix Christmas Gameday, which featured Beyoncé’s halftime performance during the Ravens vs. Texans game, known as the four-time Emmy-nominated Beyoncé Bowl.
Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party is produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment. The Christmas Day games will air on CBS affiliates in the competing team cities and will also be available on U.S. mobile devices with NFL+. CBS Sports is producing the games, with NFL Media handling pregame, postgame and halftime programming, while EverWonder Studio serves as executive producer for NFL Christmas Gameday.
Continuing a tradition introduced in 2024, all teams playing on Christmas Day will wear festive holiday-themed patches on their uniforms during both their Week 16 and Christmas Day games. The 2025 patch features the NFL shield backed by two candy canes, capturing the spirit of football during the holiday season.
