Snoop Dogg Rocks Netflix’s NFL Christmas Halftime With Andrea Bocelli Surprise, HUNTR/X & Lainey Wilson

Snoop Dogg had millions Netflix-and-chilling on Christmas Day — and he made sure they stayed tuned in.

The hip-hop icon headlined Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday Halftime Show, turning what’s usually a quick breather into a full-blown holiday spectacle. Equal parts West Coast swagger and Christmas magic, the set delivered surprise guests, classic hits, and genre-bending moments that felt tailor-made for the streaming era.

The celebration kicked off in style with funk legend George Clinton and longtime Snoop collaborator Martha Stewart, who gave the crowd a playful, halftime-themed spin on ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. From there, Snoop took over, running through an arsenal of career-defining hits like “Gin and Juice,” “Who Am I (What’s My Name),” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”

But this wasn’t just a greatest-hits run. Snoop blended his catalog with festive flair, bringing out HUNTR/X — fresh off the blockbuster KPOP Demon Hunters — for a lively rendition of “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The genre-hopping continued when Lainey Wilson rolled in via the now-iconic “Snoopmobile,” delivering a crowd-pleasing take on “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.”

Death Row newcomer Tonio Armani added a smooth melodic layer to the mix, before the show shifted gears entirely for a jaw-dropping finale. Legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli, joined by his son Matteo Bocelli, closed the set with a stunning performance of “White Christmas.” The moment was elegant, unexpected, and undeniably powerful — a reminder that Snoop knows exactly how to curate a moment.

Following Beyoncé’s Christmas Day halftime launch, Snoop’s performance proved that Netflix is all-in on turning NFL halftimes into must-watch events. The show will stream as a standalone Netflix special on December 26, giving fans another chance to catch every surprise, switch-up, and holiday twist.

One thing’s certain: Snoop Dogg didn’t just perform at halftime — he owned Christmas Day.
