In this musical sketch, four Saturday Night Live cast members deliver an endearingly lo-fi performance of an original holiday song. Horatio Sanz plays a tiny backpacker guitar while singing, Jimmy Fallon mans a 1980s keyboard, Chris Kattan holds the keyboard while doing his signature rhythmic head movements, and Tracy Morgan wordlessly dances alongside them with a straight face and light jogging-style moves. The quartet, all dressed in matching maroon sweaters, perform the simple yet irresistibly catchy tune "I Wish It Was Christmas Today" with minimal lyrics and maximum charm. The sketch's innocent simplicity and the cast's visible enjoyment made it an instant hit that was repeated just one week later and became a beloved SNL holiday tradition.
