When Netflix was putting together today's NFL Christmas Day event (highlighted by the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens taking on the Houston Texans), we knew that the streaming service was going to go big. To get this underway with the pregame show, we had John Cena taking on the role of Santa Claus – and now we have a look at Mariah Carey's new video for "All I Want for Christmas Is You" – set especially for the Christmas Day event. You can check out the full video above (with Carey getting an assist from none other than Kevin Hart).

Here's a rundown of what you need to know about Netflix's NFL Christmas Gameday – including a rundown of who's hosting and who will be doing play-by-play, some fun previews of what's to come, and much more!
Who's Playing, When & What Time Is Kick-Off? Both games are taking place on Christmas Day (December 25th):
Netflix's "NFL Christmas Day" Pregame Show: 11 am ET.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers kicks off at 1 pm ET.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans kicks off at 4:30 pm ET.
How Can I Stream the Games? You need a Netflix subscription (the games are included with all subscriber plans) and a log-in—after that, you're set! In addition, both games will be broadcast locally in each of the home and away team markets for their respective games. If you have an NFL+ subscription, you will also be able to stream the games via the NFL mobile app.
How Long After The Games Stream Can I Watch Them? If you're in the U.S., then you have three (3) hours after the livestream ends. If you're outside of the U.S., the games expire 24 hours after the livestream ends.
Who's Set to Perform During Netflix's "NFL Christmas Gameday"? In terms of the National Anthem, Voices of Service will perform at the Chiefs vs. Steelers game, while Pentatonix (Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee) will perform at the Ravens vs. Texans game. Of course, how could we forget our major headliners:
Mariah Carey: Netflix's big gameday will kick off with Mariah Carey offering a new pre-recorded rendition of her Christmas staple, "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
Beyoncé: That's right, global phenomenon Beyoncé will be headlining the halftime show of the Ravens vs. Texans game.
Who Will Be the Pregame Show Hosts & On-Air Commentators for Netflix's "NFL Christmas Gameday"? Everything gets underway beginning at 11 am EST with the live pregame show from NFL Network's studios in Los Angeles and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
