“Saturday Night Live” recently added a dash of holiday spirit to their lineup with a hilarious sketch titled ‘ABBA Christmas.’ The sketch saw the return of show veterans Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph, who joined host Kate McKinnon and current cast member Bowen Yang in a delightful parody.
In this witty segment, the cast transformed into the iconic Swedish pop group ABBA, promoting a fictional Christmas album that never saw the light of day until now. James Austin Johnson, a fellow cast member, introduced the sketch with a humorous note, stating, “They’re the Fleetwood Mac of cold weather, the top band alphabetically of all time – ABBA!”
The sketch went on to showcase the group in classic ABBA fashion, humorously remaking the group’s hit songs with a Christmas twist. Songs like ‘Santa Queen,’ a festive take on the popular ‘Dancing Queen,’ brought laughter and applause from the audience. The commercial parody also featured an unforgettable album highlight, ‘Frostitita,’ and a number performed in ABBA’s signature style of ‘standing close facing different directions.’
The ad pointedly and humorously suggested that the holiday album would be the “perfect gift for everyone, from mothers to their gay sons,” adding to the overall comedic appeal of the segment.
The ‘ABBA Christmas’ parody sketch is a testament to “SNL’s” continued ability to blend pop culture and humor seamlessly. It’s not just a hilarious piece but also a nostalgic nod to the enduring popularity of ABBA, wrapping it in festive cheer.
The sketch aired on the recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” hosted by Kate McKinnon, and has since been a topic of delight among fans of the show and ABBA alike. With its mix of humor, music, and holiday spirit, ‘ABBA Christmas’ is sure to be remembered as one of this season’s SNL highlights.
