Top 10 Best SNL Christmas Skits

If your family is anything like mine, you've been watching the SNL Christmas Special for years. And, if you family is anything like mine, you have been conditioned to think it's the best thing ever. This Christmas special covers the entire span of SNL skits, from the earliest years of the show to the present day skits. While some are definitely better than others, there are a few that are iconic, timeless skits. Here are my favorites.

1. NPR'S Delicious Dish, Schweddy Balls

Okay, obviously had to start out with this gem. In this skit, two NPR hosts discuss their favorite Christmas treats. To continue the conversation, they invite Alec Baldwin's Pete Schweddy onto the show. He informs them of his favorite Christmas treat, his Schweddy Balls.


2. Holiday Treat for All

I don't know what the best part of this skit is: the tiny guitar, Jimmy Fallon in a Christmas sweater, or Tracy Morgan's dancing. Whatever it is, it makes me want to have this song playing on loop throughout the entire holiday season.

3. The Hanukkah Song

I miss young Adam Sandler. Before he began making really, really bad movies, he was actually really funny, believe it or not. This is one of my favorite Sandler skits; in the skit, he sings about the holiday of Hanukkah, who's Jewish, and who's not.


4. D*** in a Box

Okay, this is truly a timeless skit. I'm sure thousands of years from now, future humans will be laughing to JT and Andy Samberg singing about putting their package in, well, a package. Even if you aren't the biggest SNL fan, you know (and probably love) this skit.

5. A Very Downer Christmas

Debbie Downer is seriously one of my favorite characters to come off SNL. Anytime I hear that familiar *wah wah* I seriously die. It's definitely a sound we can all relate to, especially around the holidays.


6. Santa's My Boyfriend

Three of the funniest ladies to ever grace our TV screens sing about dating Santa. There's really nothing else I can say.

7. Hanukkah Harry

An oldie, but a classic. It's definitely a longer clip, but it's hilarious and definitely worth it.

8. Motivational Santa

Chris Farley was a classic member of SNL, and this skit is no exception. Dressed as a department store Santa, he motivates kids about life, presents, and Christmas. "WELL WHOOPDY FREAKIN DOO."


9. Wrappinville

The entire saga of the "'ville" skits is hilarious, but this one has always been a favorite of mine; I think because of the hilarious chemistry between Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. "Bring it on down to Wrappinville!"


10. A Holiday Wish

To conclude the list of the best SNL holiday Christmas skits, I leave you with Steve Martin's holiday wish list. I hope you all have a wonderful, SNL-filled Christmas!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
