It’s the best time of the year.
We don’t know if there’ll be snow, but some NFL teams will be having a cup of cheer – especially at Netflix and Amazon. The league is gifting the streamers a tripleheader of games for Christmas, building off the doubleheader they featured in 2024.

Division matchups are the theme for this year’s festivities as the Washington Commanders host the Dallas Cowboys followed by the Minnesota Vikings taking on the Detroit Lions. The slate wraps up with the Denver Broncos visiting the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs.
It’s a trio of games that has lost some luster – and star power – over the course of the season, but that doesn’t mean that Netflix and Amazon aren’t bringing their “A” game.
Netflix has stepped it up with a loaded lineup of talent, personalities and more for their two games of the day. With a dedicated pregame show on-site at each game, the streamer is making each game feel like a special occasion. Amazon is set to feature its traditional “Thursday Night Football” crew for the nightcap in Kansas City.
