Netflix and the NFL announced that iconic entertainer Snoop Dogg will headline the halftime show for the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings Christmas Day game, part of NFL Christmas Gameday 2025 streaming live on Netflix on December 25. The performance, branded “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party,” will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during the late-afternoon matchup of the NFC North rivals.

The Netflix Christmas doubleheader will start with the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game at 1 p.m. ET, with the Lions-Vikings game kicking off later in the day. The announcement was accompanied by promotional material released by Netflix, including a festive video teasing Snoop Dogg’s performance and holiday theme.

Snoop Dogg, also known for his longtime involvement with NFL halftime and live performances, expressed excitement about bringing his signature style and holiday spirit to the global audience. Netflix’s Chief Content Officer highlighted the collaboration as a way to combine two major cultural forces—NFL football and Snoop Dogg’s entertainment legacy—for viewers worldwide.

This marks another high-profile musical moment for Netflix’s holiday NFL coverage following last year’s Christmas halftime performance headlined by Beyoncé during the Ravens-Texans game. Snoop’s appearance is expected to feature special guests and a setlist blending his hits with festive elements, adding a unique twist to the streaming event.

Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party will be accessible live to Netflix subscribers globally as part of the Christmas Day NFL broadcast, reinforcing the growing intersection of live sports and entertainment on streaming platforms during the holiday season.
