Kelly Clarkson Lights Up NFL's Christmas Gameday on Netflix with Magical Performance

Kelly Clarkson started the NFL's Christmas Gameday on Netflix with a lively performance of her holiday hit "Underneath the Tree." In the festive filmed performance, Clarkson arrived in a sleigh, passed a giant Christmas tree, and landed on a snowy stage. NFL players showcased their skills around the tree, while fans cheered, cheerleaders danced, and Clarkson's vocals filled the stadium, which was revealed to be a magical Netflix snowglobe.

Clarkson, who was announced as the Christmas Gameday opener, had the privilege of performing for her favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, who played against the Washington Commanders. Netflix also featured performances by Snoop Dogg, Lainey Wilson, and the singing stars of KPop Demon Hunters' Huntr/x — EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami — during halftime of the second game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions.

Netflix introduced its Christmas Gameday lineup last year. In the 2024 doubleheader, Mariah Carey opened with "All I Want for Christmas Is You," and Beyoncé performed her Cowboy Carter songs during the halftime show. Clarkson recently performed at her Studio Sessions residency in Las Vegas and is gearing up for her Vegas residency next summer with new shows in July and August.

In conclusion, Kelly Clarkson's festive performance at the NFL's Christmas Gameday on Netflix set the tone for a joyful holiday celebration, featuring a star-studded lineup of artists and exciting football action.
