Netflix The first NFL games aired on Christmas Day last year, and in addition to the two football games that aired that day, we also got the Beyoncé Bowl. The Cowboy Carter-themed halftime show was as good as any Super Bowl halftime show we’ve ever seen. (Brb, it’ll work Go watch it again Before it leaves Netflix on January 5.)
This year, Netflix is hoping to recapture some of the halftime magic when Snoop Dogg headlines his own show, dubbed Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party. We can catch him during the second game of the day between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings. Snoop will be joined by several special guests and will perform some of his biggest hits during the show. Among those joining the concert will be KPop Demon Hunters singers Ejae, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna, also known as Huntrix, along with country singer Lainey Wilson.
They’re not the only musical acts on the Christmas Gameday lineup.
Kelly Clarkson will kick off the Netflix stream with a performance of her hit holiday single, Underneath the Tree, from her debut Christmas album, Wrapped in Red. Clarkson, a Texas native and lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, will sing the ceremonial song prior to the start of the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the Washington Commanders at 1 p.m. ET. This event promises more surprising artists.
It’s shaping up to be a seriously festive day on the Iron Network. Here’s what you need to know to watch this year’s Christmas Gameday specials.
How to watch Snoop Dogg’s halftime show
Snoop Dogg will hit the stage during halftime of the Lions’ game against the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The game starts at 4:30pm ET, so we estimate Snoop’s performance will start between 5:45pm and 6pm, though it all depends on what’s happening in the game and how long the first half runs.
You can watch the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders, and Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings, along with shows from Snoop Dogg, Huntrix and Kelly Clarkson, exclusively on Netflix.

Who’s starring in Netflix’s Christmas Gameday?
So far, Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson are the first confirmed performers for Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday, but Snoop’s performance promises “special guest” appearances.
