Post Malone to Perform at Thanksgiving Halftime Show
This year, the popular global sensation Post Malone is set to dazzle fans at the halftime show, marking the official launch of the Red Kettle Campaign for the Salvation Army during the highly anticipated Thanksgiving football game featuring the Dallas Cowboys. This event will take place on November 27, 2025, and will air live on CBS at 3:30 p.m. CST. As a part of a long-standing tradition, this kickoff signifies the start of the Salvation Army's 135th campaign, garnering national attention to the urgent needs of millions, particularly during the festive season.
As the campaign marks its 29th year, the kickoff has become an integral part of Cowboy's culture, embracing the spirit of Texas. This year’s matchup will pit the Cowboys against the Kansas City Chiefs, making it an exciting day for fans and those tuning in nationwide. Malone's performance is particularly special, as he has strong ties to the Dallas area. Growing up in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, Malone feels a deep connection to the Cowboys, especially as his father once worked as the food and beverage assistant director for the team.
In Malone's own words: "Being from Texas, I'm honored to be a part of this year's Red Kettle Campaign alongside the Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys, hoping to inspire hope in so many. I’ve watched this halftime show for years, and now to be a part of it is surreal." His words embody the spirit of giving and community that the Red Kettle Campaign promotes.
Charlotte Jones, the Chief Brand Officer and co-owner of the Dallas Cowboys, expressed her sentiments about this tradition, stating, "The Red Kettle Campaign is not only a cherished tradition but a means to save lives. Every time the bell rings, it serves as a reminder that small acts of generosity can create genuine joy. We are proud to collaborate with the Salvation Army once again, and we are thrilled to have our biggest fan, Post Malone, share his incredible talent with fans nationwide."
The Salvation Army, as the largest private social services provider in the US, operates over 7,400 centers across the country, allowing them to cater to local needs with community-specific programs. Thanks to generous public support, they provide food, shelter, and a variety of services every year to nearly 28 million individuals.
"For nearly three decades, the Dallas Cowboys and the Jones family have been steadfast partners with the Salvation Army," stated Merle Heatwole, the national commander of the Salvation Army. "Their unwavering commitment has helped bring hope and care to our most vulnerable neighbors, and we are immensely grateful to Post Malone for helping us kick off this festive season."
