Are you ready? Beyoncé is coming home for Christmas.

The singer will perform during halftime of the Houston Texans-Baltimore Ravens NFL game on Christmas Day in her hometown of Houston, Netflix announced Sunday.

“Your early Christmas wish has come true as Beyoncé will perform during Netflix’s first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday,” the streaming giant said in a press release.

Netflix said details of her performance are “under wraps” but teased that Beyoncé is “expected to feature some special guests” who are featured on her latest “COWBOY CARTER” album.

This will be the third NFL halftime show for Beyoncé, who previously performed at the 2013 and 2016 Super Bowls.

In a video posted on Instagram late Sunday, the singer is seen standing atop a vintage car and holding a soccer ball while singing “American Requiem,” the opening single from her latest album.

Netflix is ​​streaming both of the NFL’s Christmas Day games this year as part of a broader three-year deal with the league. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first game at 1:00 PM ET, while the Ravens-Texans game starts at 4:30 PM ET.

Netflix’s announcement comes just days after it hosted a highly publicized fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

The streaming platform announced a record 60 million households tuned in to the match. However, viewers on social media reported that they had trouble watching the event on the streaming platform. Some of the issues included buffering lags, lags, and problems loading the match.
