This year, the platform is aiming to recreate that excitement by putting Snoop Dogg front and center during one of the league’s most-watched regular-season days.
Snoop Dogg is no stranger to NFL audiences. He previously performed at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show alongside Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.
With Christmas-themed songs already part of his catalog, including “Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto” and his Christmas in Tha Dogghouse album, Snoop Dogg’s halftime set is expected to lean into the holiday spirit while still delivering the style that made him a hip-hop icon.
Kickoff for the Lions vs. Vikings game is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET, meaning the halftime performance should begin shortly after the first half concludes. For viewers at home, the show will stream live on Netflix as part of the platform’s Christmas NFL presentation.
