Snoop Dogg is bringing his own spin on the holidays to network television. NBC has set “Christmas With Snoop,” a one-hour holiday special hosted by the rapper and entertainer, for Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 10 p.m. Eastern (9 Central), the network announced Wednesday, Nov. 11. Some outlets bill it under the longer title “A Not-So-Silent Night: Christmas With Snoop.”
The special will air right after NBC’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center,” the annual broadcast built around the lighting of the famous tree in Manhattan, which Time Out New York reports is set for the same night, Dec. 2. That gives families a back-to-back holiday evening on NBC.
Who is joining Snoop
According to Give Me My Remote, which reported NBC’s announcement, the guest list includes:
- Gwen Stefani
- Kristin Chenoweth
- Martha Stewart
- Jamie Foxx and Anelise Foxx
- Wayne Brady
- Nicole Scherzinger
- Adam Devine and Craig Robinson
- October London and Jane Handcock
NBC’s description is brief, saying only that Snoop is excited to start new Christmas traditions. The special is executive produced by Snoop Dogg and Sara Ramaker for Death Row Pictures, along with Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment. Music-News also reported the Dec. 2 date and the same lineup of guests.
Also coming: Mickey’s Thanksgiving-night special
Families with younger children have another new holiday title to circle. Disney Jr.’s “Mickey’s Home Alone,” a playful take on the 1990 film “Home Alone,” premieres Thanksgiving night, Thursday, Nov. 26, at 6 p.m. Eastern and Pacific on Disney Jr., and streams on Disney+ starting Friday, Nov. 27, according to Animation Magazine and Parenting Patch.
In the story, Mickey is hoping for a quiet Christmas at home when Minnie surprises everyone with tickets to a world-famous Ice Palace. In the rush to leave, Mickey and Pluto are left behind and must protect their Christmas dinner from a scheming raccoon and weasel while their friends race back, Disney said when it announced the special in June. Shane Prigmore directs, Tom Rogers is executive producer, and the special features original songs plus a new arrangement of “Jingle Bells.” Parenting Patch reports encore airings on Disney Channel on Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. and on Freeform’s “25 Days of Christmas” on Dec. 19.
Families looking for something sooner can catch “A Proud Family Wizmas,” the stop-motion special arriving on Disney+ Nov. 14, and our roundup of this week’s family TV, including the new Snoopy special.
Why it matters for families
- Check the rating first. NBC has not yet posted a TV rating for “Christmas With Snoop.” Because it airs at 10 p.m. Eastern, parents may want to watch the listing closer to air date or preview it on demand before younger kids tune in.
- The little ones’ pick. “Mickey’s Home Alone” comes from Disney Jr. and stars the Mickey Mouse gang, and it runs early on Thanksgiving evening, making it an easy after-dinner choice. Disney has not listed a runtime or rating yet.
- Plan a holiday TV night. On Dec. 2, the Rockefeller Center tree lighting broadcast comes first, followed by Snoop’s special at 10 p.m. Eastern.
What to watch next
NBC has not yet announced which songs or segments will be featured in Snoop’s special, and the performers for the Rockefeller Center broadcast had not been named as of Time Out’s report. Upstormed News will update families as networks release full holiday schedules, along with plans for the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
