ABBA Christmas

A commercial advertises ABBA's newly rediscovered Christmas album, featuring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, and Bowen Yang parodying ABBA's signature 1970s style. The four performers, dressed in festive and garish period-appropriate outfits, perform Christmas-themed parodies of classic ABBA songs including "Dancing Queen" (reimagined as "Santa Claus, your life's a dream / You're at the dance, you're 17") and "Take a Chance on Me" (as "Who's That Baby? It's the Baby Jesus"). The sketch hilariously captures ABBA's iconic music video style, including the signature move of standing extremely close together while facing different directions. The final number features an unfortunate Swedish-to-English translation mishap with "Barbecue / Made it for Christmas from kangaroo" sung to the tune of "Waterloo."

Maya Rudolph's increasingly aggressive facial expressions throughout were particularly noted. Wiig and Rudolph appeared to be holding back laughter during filming. This marked Maya Rudolph's 600th milestone sketch on SNL.
