For the sixth time in as many years, the NFL will take center stage come Christmas Day. The Shield has spared no expense in making the holiday a fixture in its calendar.<\/p>\n
Matchups have proven to be hit-or-miss as of late \u2014 last year’s contests were marked by crooked score lines. Nevertheless, the event has become fundamental in the NFL’s pursuit of world domination. It’s hard to imagine the league will give up the chance of hosting such contests any time soon.<\/p>\n
Last year’s Christmas Day games featured quite the carrot attached to them. The league enlisted pop megastar Beyonce to serenade audiences during the Ravens<\/a>‘ beatdown over the Texans<\/a>. The Houston-based artist brought out Shaboozey and Post Malone to accompany her in her beloved hometown.<\/p>\n This year’s spectacle doesn’t have quite the same appeal. However, the man tasked with serving up tunes is a musical icon in his own right \u2014 albeit with a much different approach to that of his predecessor.<\/p>\n The Sporting News is tracking live updates from Snoop Dogg’s performance at the Lions<\/a>–Vikings<\/a>‘ halftime show during Christmas Day.

There’s reason to believe it could be around 6 p.m. ET, though. The Lions and Vikings are set to start their fixture at 4:30 p.m. ET,. That means halftime will likely fall between 6 p.m. ET and 6:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n Beyonce’s halftime show kicked off around 6:10 p.m. ET last year.

Detroit-Minnesota represents the second Christmas Day NFL matchup of the day. If the opening clash \u2014 a duel between the hapless Commanders<\/a> and Cowboys<\/a> \u2014 bleeds into the window of Lions-Vikings, it’s possible the league could delay kickoff, pushing everything back a tad.<\/p>\n How long is the NFL Christmas halftime show?<\/p>\n While we don’t know the specifics about Snoop’s halftime performance, NFL halftime shows (excluding the Super Bowl) tend to run between 12-15 minutes. In 2024, TMZ reported that Beyonce was granted an extended window to perform in.<\/p>\n For all that Snoop has accomplished in his musical career, it seems unlikely that he’ll get much longer than the typically allotted 12-15 minute time frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JUMP TO: For the sixth time in as many years, the NFL will take center stage come Christmas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-368853","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
