Matt Damon and Cecily Strong play an exhausted couple who finally sit down with wine after hosting Christmas, declaring it "the best Christmas ever." As they fondly recall the day's events, the sketch cuts to flashback scenes showing the actual chaos: kids screaming and waking them at 5:41 AM, children greedily tearing through presents while the parents struggle to stay awake, Damon rage-assembling a playhouse late on Christmas Eve, complaining in-laws, a coughing cousin, a MAGA uncle, fighting siblings, and Strong sneaking a stress cigarette. Despite all the horror, they conclude with the heartwarming truth: "Even when it's the worst, it's the best." The sketch perfectly captures the exhausting reality of family holidays and the rose-colored nostalgia that makes parents do it all over again.
