Snoop Dogg Brings Death Row Pictures to NBC Prime Time
Snoop Dogg has a seat on the couch and a credit behind the camera. NBC has set “Christmas with Snoop” for December 2nd, immediately after “Christmas in Rockefeller Center.” When the tree-lighting broadcast ends, the network will hand the evening to a rapper whose own production company helped put the next show on television.
NBCUniversal announced the special on November 12, 2026. The setting is a hotel suite where Snoop hosts friends for the holiday. Baltimore viewers can watch on NBC at 10 p.m. Eastern that Wednesday. Peacock gets the special the following day, December 3rd.
Who Gets an Invitation?
For R&B listeners, two names worth picking out of the guest list are Jane Handcock and October London. They share the bill with Jamie Foxx, Anelise Foxx and Wayne Brady. Then there’s Kristin Chenoweth, whose Broadway voice suggests a very different kind of Christmas party. Martha Stewart and Gwen Stefani are on the invitation list, too. NBC describes a mix of appearances and musical performances. It hasn’t assigned a song to each guest.
The pairing to watch in the closing credits is Snoop and Sara Ramaker. Both are executive producers for Death Row Pictures, alongside the team from Jesse Collins Entertainment. That gives the Death Row name a place on a network holiday production that people might stumble into just by leaving the television on after the tree lighting.
The Other Snoop on the Schedule
There’s a second reason those credits matter. Universal Pictures has already dated “Snoop,” a theatrical film about the rapper’s life, for August 6, 2027. Jonathan Daviss is set to play him. Snoop and Ramaker are producers on that project, too, with Brian Grazer. Within the same entertainment company, the pair now have two very different assignments: telling Snoop’s story for moviegoers and putting on a Christmas party for the audience at home.
