The Kansas City Chiefs game Monday was broadcast on local CBS stations and streamed on Paramount+. But there was also a special edition for the kids (and for adults looking for something to smile at as the Las Vegas Raiders won 20-14).

Dubbed “Nickmas,” this game was on Nickelodeon, with a kid-friendly broadcast and special graphics, including the orange Nickelodeon blimp, an appearance by a yeti, the Teenage Mutant Turtles and of course, slime.

Check out some of the highlights from the Nickmas broadcast:

Nickelodeon had a special focus on the relationship between Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and superstar Taylor Swift.

Graphics that appeared on some of the players and staff include these festive elf ears on Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

Reid was also abducted by the blimp’s crane and given a pep talk by commentators Nate Burleson and Noah Eagle.

Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shot pizza slices from a cannon into the crowd.

The beginning of the game saw the famous Nickelodeon blimp fly over GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Raiders running back Zamir White received some comparisons to video game character Sonic the Hedgehog for his speed.

And at the end of the game, Raiders defensive tackle Bilal Nichols was named the NVP, the award given to the most valuable player of the game as voted by the fans.
