H3: Context within NFL Christmas games 2025
Snoop’s show follows high-profile holiday broadcasts the past two seasons. In 2024, Beyoncé headlined Netflix’s Christmas Day halftime in a widely watched “Beyoncé Bowl” that later earned an Emmy for its costumes. This year’s lineup demonstrates Netflix’s continued investment in combining live sports with major musical moments.
H2: Why the Lions game matters
The Lions-Vikings matchup at U.S. Bank Stadium becomes a national entertainment event with Netflix handling the stream. Detroit’s franchise has also attracted big moments this season; for example, Eminem joined Jack White for a surprise collaboration during the Lions’ Thanksgiving halftime.
For fans tuning in, Netflix’s Christmas broadcast offers a blend of football and pop culture — a trend that drives viewership during the holiday window. Snoop Dogg, a veteran performer with a cross-generational audience, fits that strategy: he brings both classic hits and a seasonal spin.
