In this SNL cold opening, Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake play enthusiastic singing gift bag mascots who try to attract holiday shoppers to their wrapping station. They perform parodies of popular songs including "Somebody That I Used To Know" and "Thrift Shop," rapping about their gift wrapping services. Their business is threatened when Aidy Bryant appears as a competing wrapper vendor, leading to a comedic "rap battle" over who provides the best wrapping services. The sketch features elaborate choreography, wordplay about being professional "wrappers," and humorous references to holiday wrapping mishaps. During the performance, an audience member repeatedly screamed for Justin, which the cast handled professionally with Justin ad-libbing "Shut up, Mom..." This was the final installment of SNL's recurring "Dancing Mascot" sketch format.

This was Jimmy Fallon's 2nd time hosting SNL. Final episode of the "Dancing Mascot" recurring sketch series. Songs parodied: "Somebody That I Used To Know," "Thrift Shop," "Rollout" by Ludacris. Video has over 7.4 million views on YouTube. Notable for audience disruption handled professionally by cast. Features elaborate choreography and costume work. Wordplay central to humor (wrappers/rappers, deck sacking, etc.)
