Saturday Night Live airs on Saturday nights during the course of its season. Will it be airing Dec. 28, the week of Christmas?

Saturday Night Live season 45 is in full swing with talented hosts and musical guests appearing each weekend. A few months ago, they released their line up for the beginning of season 45. The lineup included Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lopez, and Will Ferrell.

However, the lineup only gave us episodes up until Dec. 21. What about the last Saturday in December, the weekend after Christmas? Will there be a new episode on Dec. 28?

As much as we would all love to laugh alongside our favorite SNL cast members the weekend after Christmas, usually, they take a week or two off around this time.

During season 44, they took an entire month off. Their last episode aired on Dec. 15 and they returned on Jan. 19.

For season 43, they did the same thing. They ended on Dec. 16 and returned on Jan. 13. So, it’s safe to say that there definitely won’t be an episode of Saturday Night Live airing on Dec. 28.

It’s also likely that there won’t be another episode for a few weeks. According to their schedule from the previous years, they’ll likely return with a new episode on Jan. 18.

However, we’re going to have to wait and see. For the time being, if you’re still looking to get your Saturday Night Live fix, you’ll have to go back and watch old episodes. You can watch the rest of season 45 on Hulu as well as the seasons before that.

You can also go back and watch the Christmas special that was hosted by Scarlett Johansson. While you’re at it, you might as well watch all the Christmas specials from over the years, if you’re still in the Christmas spirit.
