Detroit, MI – The Detroit Lions will headline a significant musical event this Christmas Day, playing against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on December 25th, a game exclusively streamed on Netflix. The kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET. Adding to the spectacle, legendary rapper Snoop Dogg will be headlining the halftime performance, bringing his signature G-Funk style to the Minnesota festivities.
This marks the second high-profile halftime show for the Lions in 2025, following performances by Jack White and Eminem on Thanksgiving Day. Previously, The Temptations delivered a performance on December 4th. Snoop Dogg’s involvement is particularly notable, as he previously headlined the Super Bowl 56 halftime show alongside luminaries such as Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Anderson .Paak, and 50 Cent at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Notably, this performance represents a return to center stage for Snoop Dogg, distinct from his previous collaboration within a larger Super Bowl production.
Sources suggest a degree of cautious optimism surrounds the performance, acknowledging past controversies, notably the “Snoop Lion” rebrand which occurred over a decade prior.
