Snoop Dogg knows what you want for Christmas.

More Snoop Dogg.

The popular rapper will be the halftime performer at the Detroit Lions versus Minnesota Vikings game on Christmas Day in Minneapolis. The performance is part of a special NFL event streamed on Netflix.

Netflix announced that Snoop Dogg will host a halftime show special called “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party,” promising popular music, surprise guests, and a festive holiday atmosphere.

Snoop Dogg announced that NFL and Netflix will be bringing music, positivity, and a festive atmosphere to everyone on Christmas Day. He joked that it’s the kind of holiday experience even Santa Claus couldn’t deliver in his sleigh.

Over twenty-five films, including one directed by Ang Lee, will receive financial incentives for filming in California.

I was really excited when Netflix released a teaser video for the halftime show! It’s got George Clinton, a total funk legend, narrating, and it’s got me thinking… he actually says a line from his song “Atomic Dog” – “bow wow wow, yippie yo yippie yay” – which Snoop Dogg has sampled a bunch of times. Could this be a hint that Snoop might be involved? It’s definitely got me speculating!

Calvin Broadus, once known as the controversial rapper Snoop Dogg, is now a widely popular figure in mainstream culture. Just recently, he appeared as a judge on “The Voice” and performed during the opening of “Monday Night Football.”

Last week, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee revealed that Snoop Dogg will be Team USA’s first honorary coach at the Milano Cortina Games this February. He’ll also be a special contributor for NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage, just like he was during the 2024 Paris Games.

In April, Snoop was named as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2025.

Snoop Dogg has released several holiday projects over the years. These include the 1996 song “Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto,” the 2008 album “Christmas in the Dogghouse,” and the 2020 single “Doggy Dogg Christmas.” He also teamed up with Anna Kendrick for a festive mashup of “Winter Wonderland” and “Here Comes Santa Claus” in the 2015 movie Pitch Perfect 2.

This Christmas, Netflix will be the home for two NFL games. First, the Dallas Cowboys will face off against the Washington Commanders at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, with a pre-game performance by Kelly Clarkson. Later, the Detroit Lions will play the Minnesota Vikings, kicking off at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
