How to Watch Snoop Dogg at Halftime and More on Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday
Last year was the first time Netflix broadcast its first NFL Christmas games, and in addition to the two football games broadcast that day, we also had the Beyoncé Bowl. The Cowboy Carter-themed halftime show was as good as any Super Bowl halftime show we’ve ever seen. (Brb, I’ll watch it again before it leaves Netflix on January 5.)
This year, Netflix hopes to recapture some of that same halftime magic when Snoop Dogg puts on his own performance, 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 as-yet-unannounced special guests and will perform some of his biggest hits during the show.
Snoop Dogg isn’t the only musical act on the Christmas Gameday roster. Kelly Clarkson will kick off the Netflix stream with a performance of her single, Underneath the Tree, from her debut Christmas album, Wrapped in Red. Clarkson, a Texas native and longtime Dallas Cowboys fan, will sing the holiday hit just before the 1 p.m. ET start of the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game.
This is shaping up to be a seriously festive day on the ground. Here’s what you need to know to watch this year’s Christmas Gameday performances.
How to watch Netflix’s NFL performances on Christmas Day
Snoop Dogg will take the stage during halftime of the Lions vs. Vikings game at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The game starts at 4:30 p.m. ET, so we estimate Snoop’s performance will begin between 5:45 p.m. and 6 p.m., although it all depends on what happens in the game and how long the first half is.
You can watch both the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game and the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings game as well as performances from Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson exclusively on Netflix.
Anyone with a Netflix subscription can stream live sporting events like NFL games on Christmas Day. An ad-supported subscription costs $8 per month, while its two ad-free plans cost $18 and $25 per month, respectively. If you choose to share your account with someone outside of your household, then you must pay additional membership fees.
Who is performing on Netflix’s Christmas Gameday?
So far, Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson are the first confirmed performers at Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday, but Snoop’s performance promises “special guest” appearances. If we only have one Christmas wish, it’s that Dr. Dre And Martha Stewart both introduces herself.
What time do NFL Christmas games start?
The Cowboys vs. Commanders game will tip off at 1 p.m. ET from Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. The Lions vs. Vikings game begins at 4:30 p.m. ET from US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The games are part of Week 17 of the regular NFL season schedule.
Who else will perform at NFL Christmas Gameday 2025?
Emmy and Grammy Award-winning superstar Kelly Clarkson will kick off the Netflix stream with a special performance of Underneath the Tree, sharing her holiday spirit and passion for soccer with viewers around the world.
