As soft instrumental music set a festive tone, Stewart kicked things off with a playful line:

“I sprang from my bed and said, ‘What is cracking?’ Hailing from the one and only LBC, give it up for Snoop D.O. Double G.”

The introduction smoothly transitioned from holiday storytelling to live entertainment, connecting the Christmas spirit with the energy of the NFL broadcast.

The combination of classic tracks and holiday timing gave the performance a fun, relaxed vibe, perfectly in line with the Christmas Gameday theme.
