Get ready to snatch your edges and set your alarms because Queen Bey is blessing us with a Christmas miracle—but there’s a catch (because of course, there’s a catch). Beyoncé is taking over the halftime show during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on Netflix this Christmas Day. Yes, you read that right—Netflix is now hosting NFL games, and Beyoncé is the cherry on this festive football sundae.
When and Where to Catch the Magic
The game kicks off at 4:30 PM ET on December 25, which means halftime will hit faster than you can yell, “Put the turkey in the oven!” Beyoncé will perform songs from her Cowboy Carter album, which, by the way, she’s never performed live before. Translation: history in the making, people.
The Grinch-Like Twist
Here’s where things get spicy. Netflix will only keep the NFL Christmas Day game up for a measly three hours after the live stream ends. That’s right, you’ll have a window of opportunity so small it could probably fit into Beyoncé’s smallest purse.
The game should wrap up around 8 PM ET, meaning the stream will vanish faster than your holiday cookies around 11 PM ET. Miss it? Too bad, you’ll have to settle for reading tweets about it and pretending you were there.
International Fans Have It Slightly Better (For Once)
If you’re not in the U.S., congrats! Netflix will let you re-watch the game and the halftime show for a whopping 24 hours. Lucky you—while Americans are sobbing over missed moments, you’ll have plenty of time to rewind Beyoncé’s performance until your internet provider calls to ask what’s going on.
What You Should Do
Skip the Christmas dinner, grab the remote, and glue yourself to the screen. Beyoncé is basically daring you to miss this, and honestly, do you want to live with that regret? Didn’t think so.
