The NFL will be in action on Christmas Day this year, despite it being a Wednesday. Two games will be played in just the third and fourth times since 1948 that the NFL has played on a Wednesday. 

The Steelers will host the Chiefs at 1 p.m. ET, while the Ravens hit the road to take on the Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET. Both games are set to air on Netflix. Each game is set to open with a pre-recorded song from Mariah Carey, who will perform her hit Christmas song "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

With these being the first two games held on Netflix on Christmas Day, the league and streaming platform are taking steps to make them feel like a big deal. 

Here is who will be singing the national anthem ahead of each game.

NFL Christmas Day National Anthem Singers

Chiefs-Steelers

Voices of Service will sing the national anthem at Acrisure Stadium ahead of Chiefs-Steelers. This musical group is comprised of four members, all of whom are military veterans. They are known for performing around the world raising global awareness for the challenges faced by those serving in the military and their families.

Voices of Service competed in the 14th season of "America's Got Talent." The group made it to the finals, where they performed with Billy Ray Cyrus. They were named a grand-finalist but did not place in the top three.
