Ariana Grande Christmas Monologue

In her Saturday Night Live opening monologue, Ariana Grande delivers a show-stopping musical parody of Mariah Carey's iconic "All I Want for Christmas Is You." The performance satirizes the awkwardness and stress of holiday gift-giving, with Ariana singing about purchasing impersonal, generic presents for acquaintances—like Yeti mugs, Kirkland shampoo, fancy olive oil, and Lululemon belt bags. She's joined by various SNL cast members throughout the performance, including Bowen Yang (in his final SNL episode), Kenan Thompson, Sarah Sherman, Chloe Fineman, and others. The monologue perfectly captures the relatable struggle of buying gifts for people you don't know well enough, all delivered with Ariana's incredible vocal talent and comedic timing.
