NFL fans will need to leave some room for a double helping of football to go with their milk and cookies on Christmas this year.

For the fourth year in a row, there will be multiple NFL games on Christmas, and Netflix Claus has reached into its big bag of gifts to bring together an “all-star” lineup of announcers for the holiday.

The video streaming giant has assembled a cast of 22 sports personalities in all from across a variety of networks. NFL fans will recognize CBS’s Ian Eagle, ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Fox’s Greg Olsen, among others, as they provide commentary on the two games throughout the day.
