The show opened with Martha Stewart, who set the tone by introducing the segment as “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party.” Adding her signature flair, Stewart kicked things off by reading a playful holiday-themed introduction before welcoming Snoop Dogg to the stage.
Snoop delivered an energetic set that mixed his iconic hits with seasonal favorites, seamlessly merging his West Coast swagger with Christmas spirit. He was joined by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami—the voices behind HUNTR/X from Netflix’s animated hit K-Pop Demon Hunters—for a festive performance of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” with the trio appearing in coordinated all-white outfits.
