Kate McKinnon to bring holiday humor to SNL Christmas episode with Billie Eilish

Kate McKinnon is set to host the upcoming Christmas episode of Saturday Night Live (SNL) marking her hosting debut. 

The Christmas special, airing on December 16, promises to add a touch of holiday magic to SNL's Season 49 success. 

In a heartwarming promo, McKinnon, dressed as Kevin McCallister from Home Alone 2, humorously expresses her wish of hosting SNL again to a huge Christmas tree, listing her 2023 accomplishments.

Comically Kenan Thompson interrupted her for missing rehearsal for hosting SNL showcasing a Christmas miracle in classic SNL style.

McKinnon's return to SNL follows her successful career, opening doors to film roles like Bombshell and Barbie, showcasing her versatility in both comedy and drama.

The promo captures McKinnon's sincere yet absurd humor, a trademark that has endeared her to audiences over her 11-year SNL tenure. 

Fans eagerly anticipate the reunion of McKinnon and musical guest Billie Eilish, known for her emotional contribution to the Barbie soundtrack.

The actress's impact extends beyond SNL, as she became a genre icon with roles in major films like DC League of Super-Pets, Office Christmas Party, and Ghostbusters.

SNL welcomes Kate McKinnon as host and Billie Eilish as musical guest:

Saturday Night Live (SNL) gears up for a laughter-filled midseason finale with the return of SNL alum Kate McKinnon as host and Billie Eilish as the musical guest.

On Instagram, SNL teases the news by sharing a photo in which Billie Eilish is standing and holding a notepad with the text, "SNL December 16." 

Kate McKinnon, on the opposite side, held a similar pad with the marker-written message, "I'd Love to."
