It’s the holiday season, and Saturday Night Live is here to provide.
How to Watch
Watch Saturday Night Live Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC and next day on Peacock.
For 50 years now, SNL has been contributing laughter, music, and even a few tears to the most festive time of the year, and the tradition doesn’t stop now. This December is packed with three new shows, as well as the annual Christmas special that will celebrate holiday-themed sketches and performances from throughout the show’s history. It’s time to get “Santa’s My Boyfriend” or “I Wish It Was Christmas Today” stuck in your head, or perhaps take a trip down to Wrappinville to get your holiday candles wrapped and ready to go.

Who is the December 13 SNL Host and Musical Guest?
Josh O’Connor will be the Host and Lily Allen is the Musical Guest.
O’Connor has starred in four movies in 2025, including Rebuilding, The History of Sound, The Mastermind, and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. This is his first time hosting SNL, but he’s got plenty of friends and co-stars to ask for tips. He romanced Season 50 Host Paul Mescal in The History of Sound, and the cast of Wake Up Dead Man includes five other previous hosts: Josh Brolin, Daniel Craig, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, and Kerry Washington.
Allen just released the critically acclaimed album West End Girl, her first in seven years. She has performed as Musical Guest once before, way back in 2007 with Host Drew Barrymore. That was in Season 32, and it was the episode that got Barrymore into the Five-Timers Club. Allen performed the hits “Smile” and “LDN.”

Who is the next SNL Host and Musical Guest?
Ariana Grande and Cher.
The December 20 Christmas episode of SNL is shaping up to be unforgettable, with Grande returning for her third episode as Host and Cher performing as Musical Guest for the first time since 1987. It’s the last episode of 2025, and we couldn’t imagine a better way to send the year off in style.
