Netflix, Christmas and Lions

Snoop Dogg, Lainey Wilson, HUNTR/X, and Andrea Bocelli performed the halftime show during the Lions-Vikings game on Christmas Day, aired on Netflix.
Lainey Wilson and the singers behind "KPop Demon Hunters" girl group HUNTR/X also will perform during halftime at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Snoop Dogg is carrying on the NFL Christmas halftime show tradition begun last year by Beyoncé. The rapper will headline a full Christmas Day lineup for Netflix, which is trying to gain traction in the crowded sports streaming field by establishing this must-watch halftime show rivaling only the Super Bowl for superstar pull.
On Friday, Netflix revealed that halftime will also feature appearances by the singing voices of HUNTR/X from "KPop Demon Hunters" (EJAE, AUDREY NUNA and REI AMI), and a performance from country singer Lainey Wilson.
The iconic rapper must have known he couldn’t match the star power on display during last year’s Emmy-nominated spectacle from Houston with Beyoncé as the headliner. It would also be impossible to duplicate the magic of the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show in which Dogg shared the stage with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.
