The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker said of Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party: “NFL, Netflix and your uncle Snoop on Christmas Day? We’re servin’ up music, love and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy.

“That’s the kind of holiday magic Santa can’t fit in a bag.”

Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, commented: “Christmas Gameday just got a whole lot cooler. We’re uniting two global cultural juggernauts, the NFL and the one and only Snoop Dogg, who will drop the hottest halftime show.

“As a West Coast girl and huge fan myself, I can confidently say this is the ultimate gift we could give our members. We’re ready to drop it like it’s hot this holiday celebration!”

The game begins at 4.30pm ET (9.30pm GMT) and will be live-streamed on Netflix.
