“Saturday Night Live” has created some of the most memorable holiday skits over its many seasons. Here is a compilation of the seven best SNL holiday skits, ranked from great to legendary:

7.NPR’s Delicious Dish: Schweddy Balls (Season 24, 1998)

Alec Baldwin, as Pete Schweddy, introduces his “Schweddy Balls” to the NPR hosts, played by Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon. The innuendo-laden sketch is a Christmas classic for its perfect deadpan delivery and double entendres.

6.Christmas Candle (Season 42, 2016)

Emma Stone stars in this digital short about a regifted peach candle that hilariously ends up being passed around more times than anticipated. It’s a humorous take on the cycle of unwanted Christmas gifts.

5.Santa’s My Boyfriend (Season 32, 2006)

Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Kristen Wiig sing a sultry ode to being romantically involved with Santa Claus. The catchy tune and witty lyrics make it an SNL Christmas music hit.

4.Dick in a Box (Season 32, 2006)

Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg perform as ’90s R&B crooners gifting their girlfriends something unexpected (and inappropriate) for Christmas. This digital short went viral, earning an Emmy Award for its audacious humor.

3.Matt Foley: Motivational Santa (Season 19, 1993)

Chris Farley revives his iconic character Matt Foley as a down-and-out Santa who lives in a van down by the river. The physical comedy and intense energy of Farley make this skit unforgettable.

2.Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood: Christmas (Season 8, 1982)

Eddie Murphy dons his sweater vest as Mr. Robinson to give a decidedly different kind of neighborhood tour full of satirical charm during the holiday season. Murphy’s charisma seals it as an SNL highlight.

1.Consumer Probe: Irwin Mainway (Season 3, 1977)

Dan Aykroyd defends selling obviously dangerous toys like “Bag o’ Glass” on “Consumer Probe,” hosted by Candice Bergen’s earnest journalist character. This sketch brilliantly parodies corporate disregard for consumer safety—and it’s hilarious doing so.

Each one of these sketches showcases SNL’s unique ability to combine wit, satire, and holiday cheer—making them treasured parts of our television holiday traditions.
