In addition to Snoop Dogg's headline performance, "Snoop's Holiday Halftime Party" also featured a number of special guest stars.
Grammy Award-winning country singer Lainey Wilson performed the classic "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," adding a diverse mix of musical genres to the stage.
The voice actors of HUNTR/X from the Netflix animated film "KPOP Demon Hunters," EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, also delivered an energetic performance.

Snoop Dogg: From the Super Bowl to Christmas Gameday
Snoop Dogg's performance at NFL Christmas Gameday 2025 inevitably sparked comparisons to his performance at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show in February 2022.
At Super Bowl LVI, Snoop Dogg headlined the show alongside Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
The Super Bowl LVI event, held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, also featured surprise performances by 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak.
This performance was significant because it was the first Super Bowl halftime show to be entirely centered around hip-hop music and won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).
While both performances were equally spectacular, "Snoop's Holiday Halftime Party" at NFL Christmas Gameday 2025 offered a more thematic and personal feel with a Christmas twist.
