“Saturday Night Live” is one of those famous shows that entertain people with different funny skits; their skits are simply iconic. During the holiday season, SNL finds ways to tap into the holiday spirit with holiday-themed skits that we can totally relate to. In this article, we’ll highlight the funniest “Saturday Night Live” sketches that we’ll always remember and love.
Two A-Holes In A Live Nativity Scene (2005)
Have you ever gotten into something you didn’t anticipate because of a wrong assumption? Well, that was exactly what happened to Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig, who played the role of the hilarious two a-holes.
The duo signed up to be Mary and Joseph in a live nativity scene because they thought it was a raffle. From chewing gum to texting, their out-of-place behavior constantly made the organizer ask why they came. Their funny response was, “We want to go to Heaven.”
Do It On My Twin Bed (2013)
The song “Do It On My Twin Bed,” which got an Emmy nomination, depicts a reality that several people can relate to. Most people still use their childhood bed whenever they go home– even if they go with a partner.
In this 2013 skit, Aidy Bryant, Noël, Vanessa Bayer, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, and Nasim Predad gave the song a girl-band spin. The skit easily became a favorite since it’s about an inconvenience that many have experienced.
Santa’s My Boyfriend (2006)
This skit is one of those unconventional ones that we just love so much. Originally starting as a tree decorating activity, the skit transformed into an exotic music video, and you might still remember the scene.
Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, and Kristen Wiig sang about their different exciting adventures with their mutual boyfriend, Santa. From the line, ‘When everybody else is putting up their stockings, he’s taking mine down,’ you already know they are romantic adventures…
Weekend Update: Drunk Uncle on Christmas (2013)
The classic segment of the SNL, “Weekend Update,” always featured one-of-a-kind skits. So we never expect anything less than superb in this segment; trust the writers of “Saturday Night Live” to never disappoint around the holidays.
This skit was more than relatable, with John Goodman and Bobby Moynihan acting as drunk uncles and having awkward and funny Christmas conversations with Seth Meyers. There is always a drunk uncle on Christmas Day!
Christmas Morning (2020)
If you’re an SNL fan, you know that these skits always give us something to learn. That’s why we love this skit where the stars remind us to be more thoughtful when gifting our moms for Christmas.
Kristen Wiig, Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennet, and Chloe Fineman are a family in this skit. They all, including the dog, showed off their amazing Christmas gifts– except the mom, who received what she had been getting every year. AKA a robe.
