Kelly Clarkson to Open NFL Christmas Gameday with Heartwarming Holiday Hit 'Underneath the Tree'
The highly-anticipated 2025 NFL Christmas Gameday is shaping up to be a festive event, and for fans, that's all thanks to one very special guest - Kelly Clarkson. This holiday season, the award-winning singer-songwriter will kick off the festivities with her iconic hit single "Underneath the Tree".
In a promotional video shared on Netflix, Clarkson revealed the exciting news, saying, "Two great football games on Christmas Day? That's a present we can all enjoy." The two high-stakes matches taking place on December 25 are the Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders at 1 p.m. EST and the Detroit Lions versus Minnesota Vikings game, set to begin at 4:30 p.m. EST.
While Netflix hasn't yet announced its main halftime show headliner for this year's event, it has a history of pulling out all the stops, having last year featured the electrifying Beyoncé Bowl. The event drew in over 30 million viewers worldwide and is sure to be just as captivating.
For Clarkson, who returned to performing after the passing of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, this show marks another triumphant moment on stage. After a period where she had postponed several shows due to vocal strain and prioritizing her children, she seems to be back in top form, recently sharing "You For Christmas" with her devoted fans on "The Kelly Clarkson Show".
