Watch The 5 Best ‘SNL’ Christmas Skits From 2019
“Saturday Night Live” gets into the holiday spirit every year, and 2019 was no different. They’ve had quite a few Christmas sketches over the past few weeks, and you can watch the best of them below:
Singing Elves — This “SNL” skit shows Scarlett Johansson and Kenan Thompson playing mall elves who were hired solely because they fit the costumes. They perform for the shoppers and their children, but their songs aren’t exactly familiar. One song is about Santa doing cocaine and another tune details Mrs. Claus’ sexually adventurous relationship with the elves. Beck Bennett’s enthusiasm as a suburban dad adds to the hilarity.
Children’s Clothing Ad — Whether you have kids, work with them or even just remember being one, you can relate to this. This Macy’s commercial shows parents trying to get their kids into nice holiday outfits. The announcer says that there are deals on “sweaters that won’t fit over his head,” “cozy corduroys that will pinch his little nuts” and “kids jackets so big and thick they won’t fit in their car seat anymore.”
Holiday Baking Championship — Eddie Murphy’s amateur baker creates a Sonic the Hedgehog cake that ends up coming to life, lighting itself on fire and speaking in some sort of devil language. Turns out that the baker is so bad that he accidentally opened a demonic portal. However, the judges are more impressed with him than the boring Frosty the Snowman cake.
Hallmark Dating Show — Aidy Bryant hosts a dating show based on the plots of Hallmark movies. Scarlett Johansson will get matched with a boyfriend from the basic plots of Hallmark movies. One guy sounds suspiciously like Santa Claus, another is a prince from “Caucasia” and another is a farmer who is about to get bought out by a big tech company.
North Pole News Report — Polar bears are starving, and that means it’s time to go after Santa’s elves. Eddie Murphy’s elf is interviewed on the news and tells them just how bad the polar bear attack was. He says he doesn’t care about the Tooth Fairy’s “thoughts and prayers” and shares his conspiracy theories (#SantaKnew) live on air.
“Saturday Night Live” returns Jan. 26 with host Adam Driver and musical guest Halsey.
