The 8 SNL Christmas Sketches You Need In Your Life Right Now

Unless you've been living under a rock since 1975, or maybe hate happiness, everyone knows "Saturday Night Live" provides us with the absolute best pieces of comedy in the history of the universe. It's gifted us with classics like Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey, and we are so incredibly grateful. So what happens when Lorne Michaels, preserver of life and God of entertainment, unites two of the world's greatest blessings, "Saturday Night Live" and Christmas, together in harmony? Joy. Pure joy.

Here are the eight "Saturday Night Live" Christmas-themed sketches you need to see (in order of my favorites). Thank you, Lorne. Thank you.


1. The Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With at a Party

Shoutout to my girl Cecily (who I saw perform at Second City in Chicago during her pre-"SNL" days) for the endless quotes. Like ships that are bipartisan? Learn a book!


2. The Lawrence Welk Show

The classic Kristen Wiig sketch is even better with James Franco and Christmas dresses.


3. Stefon on Christmas


Stefon is another classic in my book. And Bill Hader breaking character gets better and better every time it happens.


4. Drunk Uncle

He's got it all! Bobby Moynihan is making America grapes.


5. I Wish It Was Christmas Today

Should we talk about Jimmy's hair? Unreal.


6. Schweddy Balls

I'm sorry, but if you haven't seen this, I have nothing to say to you.


7. Christmas Album


Okay, maybe I'm a little obsessed with Jimmy Fallon, but he is so funny as Harry Styles. And I'm still laughing at Alan Rickman.


8. Bring It On Down To Wrappinville

Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake could be silently sitting on their phones, and I would laugh. They're geniuses. This is a classic. You know it, and I know it.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
