Snoop Dogg is bringing all the Christmas vibes to the NFL.
Netflix has announced that Snoop will be the halftime performer for the Detroit Lions–Minnesota Vikings matchup on Dec. 25. The performance is part of the streamer’s annual NFL Christmas Gameday event.
In anticipation of the show, Netflix dropped a teaser video for the halftime show earlier this week. The video features George Clinton narrating dropping his famous line “bow wow wow, yippie yo yippie yay,” from his classic song “Atomic Dog.” Snoop sampled the track on his song “What’s My Name” ? (Who am I?).
Snoop released a statement expressing his excitement about the upcoming performance.
“NFL, Netflix, and your Uncle Snoop on Christmas Day?” the Doggfather stated. “We’re servin’ up music, love and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy. That’s the kind of holiday magic Santa can’t fit in a bag.”
“Christmas Gameday just got a whole lot cooler,” added Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer. “We’re uniting two global cultural juggernauts, the NFL and the one and only Snoop Dogg, who will drop the hottest halftime show. As a West Coast girl and huge fan myself, I can confidently say this is the ultimate gift we could give our members. We’re ready to drop it like it’s hot with this holiday celebration!”
The Christmas Day football action features two marquee NFC division rivalries: the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings. Both games will be streamed live on Netflix.
CBS Sports will produce the games, with NFL Media producing the pre, post, and halftime programming.
