Netflix is getting in on the excitement of the NFL’s Christmas Day matches by dropping a new trailer that teases fans about the upcoming action on December 25. The streaming service also made a playful reference to pop star Taylor Swift, who is among the most notable celebrity fans of the NFL.
The NFL’s Christmas games have gained significant popularity since they were added to the league’s calendar in 2020, with a total of eleven games played on this festive day. Last year marked a special occasion as the Kansas City Chiefs made their first appearance.
Despite a rocky start for the Chiefs, who faced a 20-14 defeat against the Las Vegas Raiders in their first Christmas game, the team’s performance—culminating in a win at Super Bowl LVIII—has assured their spot on the 2024 holiday schedule.
This season, Netflix plans to broadcast the game live globally, with hopes of seeing Swift in attendance at Acrisure Stadium to support her partner, Travis Kelce.
Swift’s Connection with the Chiefs: A Festive Ritual?
Taylor Swift’s regular presence at NFL games has sparked joy among fans while drawing mixed reactions from critics. Since her public relationship with Kelce began last year, Swift has attended over a dozen games, including the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII win.
Her appearance at Arrowhead Stadium last Christmas was particularly memorable, as she donned a festive Santa hat and was seen cheering alongside Brittany Mahomes, the spouse of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
While Swift has not officially confirmed her presence at this year’s Christmas matchup, her schedule appears to be open. With her much-anticipated Eras Tour concluding around that time, there’s a strong possibility for another memorable appearance at an NFL game.
Netflix Creates Excitement
A recent 30-second trailer from Netflix has sparked significant buzz across social media platforms. While Mahomes and Kelce are the central figures, the streaming giant wants viewers to know this event encompasses more than just the Chiefs.
This year’s Christmas doubleheader features two exciting games: the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the opening game, followed by the Baltimore Ravens visiting the Houston Texans.
No matter if Swift makes another appearance, fans can expect a holiday packed with excitement, football action, and joyous festivities.
