On Tuesday, a Fox Sports press release revealed that the network will have a two-hour special starting at 11:00 am ET on Sunday, December 24.
The program will discuss the Week 16 slate of NFL games.
Host Curt Menefee and NFL icons Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Jimmy Johnson will be on the set.
Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer and host Charissa Thompson will join the analysts for the program.
Five games will be shown on the network including the Miami Dolphins against the Dallas Cowboys.
Then, on Christmas Day, the same talent, not including Thompson, will be part of the program Fox NFL Special.
The show will start at 4:00 pm ET as they discuss the game between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles which begins at 4:30 pm ET.
That means that Strahan, 52, and Bradshaw, 75, will work back-to-back days.
