xef2 has linear shape but its hybridisation is sp3d

XeF2  has linear shape but in spite of that it has sp3d hybridisation ; this is because it has lone pairs which are not included while considering geometry i.e.... it has no effect /role in deciding the geometry of a molecule but it is counted in hybridisation and hence , it is linear shape (geometry) but still sp3d hybridisation .
