Snoop Dogg revealed on December 19, 2025, that performers Huntr/x, known for KPop Demon Hunters, and country artist Lainey Wilson will join him for the halftime show during the Minnesota Vikings versus Detroit Lions matchup in Minneapolis. The announcement came via a Netflix teaser featuring a remix of “Deck the Halls” blended with Snoop’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” In the video, Snoop declares, “We about to light up this Christmas. Come on in!”
The Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party is scheduled to air on Netflix during the 4:30 p.m. ET game, after the earlier 1 p.m. ET contest between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. Netflix's release hints at surprises, stating, “You’ll have to wait until Christmas Day to see who else joins Uncle Snoop for this jolly halftime show. You’re in for a holiday treat!”
Kelly Clarkson will kick off the Christmas Day festivities with a rendition of “Underneath the Tree.” Snoop expressed enthusiasm in a statement: “NFL, Netflix and your uncle Snoop on Christmas Day? We’re servin’ up music, love and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy. That’s the kind of holiday magic Santa can’t fit in a bag.”
This follows last year's event, where Beyoncé headlined with Post Malone and Shaboozey, creating the so-called “Beyoncé Bowl” tied to her Cowboy Carter album. The NFL's Christmas slate features two NFC rivalries, blending sports and entertainment for a global audience.
