Watch the Saturday Night Live Christmas Special online
The Saturday Night Live Christmas Special brings a mix of musicians together from all genres and generations to celebrate the holiday season. Here’s what you need to know to watch it on television and online.
Saturday Night Live has a long history of hilarious holiday sketches, including Adam Sandler’s Hanukkah Song, Alec Baldwin’s tasty recipes, Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon’s Wrappinville sketch and incredibly interesting gift ideas that could only come from the minds of the Saturday Night Live cast over the past four decades.
The holiday season is the perfect time to look back over the years and enjoy the classic sketches that have kept audiences laughing over and over again. The Saturday Night Live holiday sketches are some of the most quoted sketches from the series. Year after year, fans talk about these sketches, and now they’re a part of the beloved cultural fabric of the American holiday tradition.
Sentimentality aside, the Saturday Night Live Christmas Special is not intended for young children, and viewer discretion is advised. The 9 p.m. airing will place it earlier than its normal late night time slot, so be prepared to either send the kids to bed or introduce a whole new generation to the world of Saturday Night Live. (You can hope that the kids will forget what they’ve heard over the long school break … or you might unwittingly start another family tradition on Saturday nights)
The Saturday Night Live Christmas Special features all of the cast members you know and love. It’s the perfect way to unwind during the hectic holiday season.
