- The live “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party” at U.S. Bank Stadium features Snoop Dogg with Lainey Wilson and the HUNTR/X vocalists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, with Snoop teasing additional surprise guests.
- Kelly Clarkson opens the day’s coverage with a performance of “Underneath the Tree” before kickoff of the NFL Christmas doubleheader on Netflix.
- The Lions–Vikings game streams nationally on Netflix at 4:30 p.m. ET, with local CBS simulcasts on WCCO‑4 in the Twin Cities and WWJ‑62 in Detroit, and mobile access via NFL+.
- Detroit must win to avoid mathematical elimination from the playoffs, while Minnesota has already been knocked out of contention.
