I Wish It Was Christmas Today II

After a holly-wreath title card promises a holiday treat, a string ensemble sits before a snowy cottage backdrop, and then four cast members in red snowman sweaters step up to the microphone. Horatio Sanz strums a small travel guitar and leads the plain-spoken chorus about wishing it were already Christmas, Jimmy Fallon leans in beside him, and Chris Kattan and Tracy Morgan sway along with straight faces as snow drifts through the studio. The performance builds on the cheerful repetition of the original, ending with Kattan holding out a keyboard for a last flourish.
