The year of Maryland music excellence wasn’t over just yet.

Two standout homegrown artists appeared during the halftime show of the Minnesota Vikings’ Christmas Day home victory over the Detroit Lions on Netflix.

Rei Ami capped a year of pop cultural dominance when she appeared onstage Thursday with other singing voices from “KPop Demon Hunters.”

The Germantown-raised singer and University of Maryland graduate soared to fame this year as part of Huntr/x, alongside vocalists Audrey Nuna and Ejae. The group’s “Golden” has been inescapable since debuting on Netflix in June. The earworm is nominated for song of the year at the Grammy Awards in February and on the short list for best original song at the Academy Awards in March.

On the field stage in Minneapolis, Ami, 30, and her trio sang a glitchy pop remix of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

They were part of a crew of cameos and guest singers during “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party,” hosted by rapper Snoop Dogg. Ami returned minutes later with Huntr/x and the other performers to back up father-son singers Andrea and Matteo Bocelli in a closing number of “White Christmas.”

Earlier in the halftime performance, Baltimore’s Timothy Fletcher got a brief moment to shine during Snoop Dogg’s medley of his own hits. Fletcher, a drummer who has appeared on MTV’s Video Music Awards and “America’s Got Talent,” was in marching band gear on the field and showed off some tricks on a drum.

He has also appeared in a similar drum-line fashion this year alongside Atlanta rapper Gunna in an advertisement for Under Armour.
