His performance featured some of his most popular songs, holiday-themed moments, and a lineup of special guests that kept viewers entertained throughout the show.
Joining Snoop Dogg on stage was longtime friend and television personality Martha Stewart, who opened the celebration with her own creative twist on “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Country music star Lainey Wilson, a Grammy winner and current CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year, also appeared and performed a holiday version of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” from the iconic Snoopmobile.
Another major highlight was the NFL debut of HUNTR/X, featuring EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami.

Snoop Dogg himself delivered a show-stopping performance backed by a 30-person choir, drummer boys, and 30 dancers known as the “Snoopettes.” He performed several of his biggest hits, including “Nuthin’ but a G Thang,” “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?,” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” blending classic hip-hop with holiday cheer.
The evening ended with a surprise and emotional finale. Renowned singers Andrea Bocelli and Matteo Bocelli appeared to close the halftime show with a beautiful rendition of “White Christmas,” bringing a calm and elegant finish to the festive celebration.
Earlier in the day, Kelly Clarkson kicked off Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday coverage with a performance of her holiday hit “Underneath the Tree.” Her appearance set the tone for a full day of football and entertainment.
