When the song wrapped, Snoop helped her down from the sleigh, capping off the moment with a playful finish.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>Why Was Duck Hodges Dressed as Santa?<\/p>\n<p>No sleigh ride would be complete without Santa, and Duck Hodges happily filled the role. He appeared in a red Santa suit\u2014minus the traditional beard\u2014and topped it off with a cowboy hat for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>After the show, Hodges joked on social media about being \u201crecruited back to the NFL,\u201d this time as Santa, sharing photos with Wilson and Snoop from the field.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p>Who Else Took Part in the Halftime Show?<\/p>\n<p>The performance was billed as \u201cSnoop Dogg and Friends,\u201d and Wilson was one of several special guests. Martha Stewart kicked things off with an introduction, while K-pop group HUNTR\/X also performed. The show closed on a dramatic note with opera legend Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo Bocelli joining the lineup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
