The Minnesota Vikings reached into the Disney archives for their latest post-game celebration, delivering a performance inspired by the 2010 Disney Channel classic Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. The celebratory dance followed a game-sealing interception against Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, securing a 27-24 road victory for Minnesota on Sunday.
A Celebration Worthy of the Spotlight
After clinching the win, Vikings defenders gathered in the end zone to recreate the iconic choreography from Demi Lovato’s standout scene in Camp Rock 2. Safety Camryn Bynum, who has become a maestro of the Vikings’ elaborate celebrations, spearheaded the effort and later shared a behind-the-scenes look at the routine on X (formerly Twitter).
“90’s babies, this is for y’all!” Bynum, 26, captioned the post, giving a nod to the generation that grew up on Disney Channel originals.
The Vikings’ effort didn’t go unnoticed. Nick Jonas, who starred alongside Lovato in both Camp Rock films, gave his seal of approval by responding to the viral clip with a simple yet enthusiastic “Incredible” on X.

Vikings’ Celebration Legacy
The Camp Rock 2 homage is just the latest in a season full of creative celebrations led by Bynum and his teammates. The Vikings have turned post-play theatrics into an art form, routinely referencing pop culture favorites.
- Dec. 8 vs. Falcons: Bynum and safety Josh Metellus recreated the infamous dance battle scene from Shawn and Marlon Wayans’ comedy White Chicks.
- Oct. 6 vs. Jets in London: The pair paid tribute to The Parent Trap by mimicking Lindsay Lohan’s memorable handshake dance from the 1998 Disney film.
- November Performance: Bynum honored Olympic breakdancing sensation Raygun by replicating one of her standout routines after a big play.
The Vikings’ celebrations have not only entertained fans but have also set a standard for team camaraderie and creativity.
Playoff Bound and Ready to Dance
With their latest win, the 13-2 Vikings have secured a spot in the postseason. Currently holding the No. 5 seed, Minnesota is still eyeing the top spot in the NFC playoff race. They sit just behind the 13-2 Detroit Lions in the NFC North standings, with two divisional games remaining against Green Bay (10-4) and Detroit.
While their playoff berth is locked, the stakes remain high for Minnesota as they aim to climb the rankings and potentially secure home-field advantage. And with their penchant for viral celebrations, fans are eagerly awaiting what Bynum and company have planned for the postseason.
A Season of Entertainment
The Vikings’ ability to combine exceptional on-field performance with lighthearted off-field moments has made them one of the most enjoyable teams to watch this season. From nail-biting victories to laugh-out-loud end-zone celebrations, the team has found a unique way to engage fans and keep spirits high.
As Minnesota prepares for the playoffs, one thing is certain: win or lose, the Vikings will find a way to keep the celebrations—and the smiles—going strong. Whether it’s a throwback to another Disney Channel classic or an entirely new routine, Bynum and his teammates are sure to keep the spotlight on Minnesota, both on and off the field.
