Snoop Dogg will headline the halftime show during the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings game on Dec. 25, streaming live on Netflix from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET. Announced by the streaming giant on Tuesday (Dec. 16), Snoop’s performance — dubbed “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party” — promises special guests, as well as renditions of Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers like 2004’s Pharrell-assisted “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
“NFL, Netflix and your uncle Snoop on Christmas Day? We’re servin’ up music, love and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy,” Snoop teased in a statement. “That’s the kind of holiday magic Santa can’t fit in a bag.”
To celebrate the announcement, Netflix shared a festive teaser on its official social media pages, narrated by funk pioneer George Clinton. “‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the crib, the stockings hung proper, the vibe feeling big,” the icon declares. “As the snow kept on falling, the beat kept calling, from Minneapolis to L.A., where the champs come to play…”
“We’re about to light up this Christmas in a real way,” Snoop quips at the end of the clip before pulling out a tray of trademark blue cookies and plugging one of his best-selling cookbooks. “How’s that for a halftime snack?”
Snoop Dogg’s halftime takeover comes one year after Beyoncé played Netflix’s inaugural Christmas Day extravaganza. Queen Bey, who earned the highest-grossing solo tour of 2025, treated her hometown of Houston to the first live performance of tracks from her three-time Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter LP. In between delivering hits like “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Beyoncé honored both rodeo culture and the history of the black cowboy while inviting special guests Post Malone, Shaboozey, Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell, Reyna Roberts and Tiera Kennedy. Earlier this year, the show, affectionately nicknamed “Beyoncé Bowl,” won 35-time Grammy victor her very first Emmy Award: outstanding costumes for a variety, nonfiction, or reality programming.
The Christmas Day doubleheader kicks off with the Dallas Cowboys facing off against the Washington Commanders at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Lions vs. Vikings game at 4:30 p.m. ET. Both games and Snoop Dogg’s halftime show will stream live on Netflix.
