Netflix will add star power to its NFL Christmas Day games with Snoop Dogg. He headlines the Lions vs Vikings halftime show on December 25 at U.S. Bank Stadium. The live stream starts at 4:30 p.m. ET, giving viewers a primetime concert break. Netflix calls the set “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party” and promises surprise guests.
Fans can expect hits like “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” plus fresh holiday energy. Nevertheless, the booking also signals Netflix’s push to own live sports entertainment. Snoop last rocked the NFL stage during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in 2022.
A Funky Teaser, Blue Cookies, and Peak Holiday Swagger
To announce the performance, Netflix dropped a Christmas teaser narrated by George Clinton. The clip rhymes through snowy scenes and links Minneapolis to Los Angeles swagger. Snoop closes it with a grin, then reveals blue cookies and a plug for his cookbook. On the flip side, his statement stays simple: music, love, and good vibes on Christmas.
That message fits his brand, and yet it also targets families tuning in worldwide. Expect a tight, TV-ready show that keeps the NFL spotlight moving during a key rivalry. Regardless of guests, the headline remains clear: Snoop Dogg's halftime show on Netflix.
Doubleheader Details: Cowboys-Commanders First, Then Lions-Vikings
In contrast, last year’s Netflix Christmas showcase featured Beyoncé and a Houston-sized production. She debuted songs from Cowboy Carter, mixing rodeo imagery with tributes to Black cowboy history. She also welcomed guests like Post Malone and Shaboozey, adding variety to the halftime spectacle. Nevertheless, Netflix now pivots to hip-hop flair while expanding its NFL holiday lineup.
The doubleheader opens with the Cowboys vs the Commanders at 1 p.m. ET. After all, the Lions-Vikings matchup follows at 4:30 p.m. ET with Snoop at halftime. Netflix will stream both games live, making the platform a one-stop NFL Christmas Day destination.
